[Verse 1]
Walkin' along the railroad tracks with a bucket in my hand
Headin' for a berry patch that grew in the bottom land
When suddenly a whistle blew and I turned in time to see
A man climbin' through a boxcar door of an eastern-bound freight train
[Verse 2]
The man, he looked familiar, but I was not concerned
For I was just a young boy with a chance to help my mom
I fill my pail with berries and when I got back home
With tear-filled eyes mom looked at me and said, "Son, your daddy's gone"
[Verse 3]
Every day at twelve o-five a train came through our town
And every day I stood and watched for the еastern to slow down
Lookin' through the open doors, hopin' I might see
Thе man I saw by the berry patch, but the same train never came
[Verse 3]
Every day at twelve o-five a train came through our town
And every day I stood and watched for the eastern to slow down
Lookin' through the open doors, hopin' I might see
The man I saw by the berry patch, but the same train never came
[Outro]
Lookin' through the open doors, hopin' I might see
The man I saw by the berry patch, but the same train never came
