DANVILLE GIRL (Testo di Woody Guthrie - musica basata su un motivo tradizionale) Well I walked down to the railroad yard to watch a train roll by I knew that train would roll that day but I did not know what time I did not know what time, poor boy, did not know what time I knew that train would roll that day but I did not know what time Good morning, Mr. railroad man, what time your trains roll by 9:16 and 2:44, twenty-five minutes till five At 9:16 and 2:44, twenty-five minutes till five Thank you, Mr. Railroad man, I'll watch your trains roll by Standing on the platform, smoking a big cigar Waiting for some old freight train, that carries an empty car I rolled her down to Danville Town, got stuck on a Danville girl You bet your life, she was a pearl, she was a Danville girl She wore her hat on the back of her head, that kind all people there do The very next train comes down at that track, I bid that gal adieu Hey oh hey oh oh oh whow whow whow...
