Haggard, Merle - Railroad Lady Lyrics
She's a railroad lady just a little bit'shady
Spending her days on a train
She's the semi good looker but the fast rails they took her
Now she's trying just trying to get home again.
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks
She's trying just trying to get back home again.
She's a railroad lady just a little bit'shady
Spending her days on a train
She's the semi good looker but the fast rails they took her
Now she's trying just trying to get home again.
Once a high-balling loner thought he could own her
But she hug in for cold cash left town on the Wabash
Never thinking never thinking of home way back then.
But the rails are now rusty the dining car's dusty
The gold bladed watches are taking their gold
The railroads're dying and the lady is crying
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal.
She's a railroad lady just a little bit'shady
Spending her days on a train
Once a pull man car driver not a breakment won't have her
She's trying just trying to get back home again.
On a bus to Kentucky and home once again...

She's a railroad lady just a little bit' shady
Spending her days on a train
She's the semi good looker
but the fast rails they took her
Now she's trying just trying to get home again.
South station in Boston to the stockyards of Austin
From the Florida sunshine to the New Orleans rain
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks
She's trying just trying to get home again.
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
Spending her days on a train
She's the semi good looker
but the fast rails they took her
Now she's trying just trying to get home again.

Once a high-balling loner thought he could own her
He bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
But she hug in for cold cash left town on the Wabash
Never thinking never thinking
of home way back then.
But the rails are now rusty the dining car's dusty
The gold bladed watches are taking their gold
The railroads're dying and the lady is crying
On a bus to Kentucky and home that's her goal.
She's a railroad lady just a little bit shady
Spending her days on a train
Once a pull man car driver
not a breakman won't have her
She's trying just trying to get home again.
On a bus to Kentucky and home once again.....
Great version of a song written by Jimmy Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker
Yep, very similar to Lefty Frizell's version which is my favorite.
Written by Dolly Parton.
Awesome
"Same Train, Different Time". An album with a lot of Jimmy Rogers songs as well.
They're ALL Jimmie Rodgers songs.
yes your,e spot on!!!
Merle had an old album about railroads out and this one was featured on it. Wish I could remember the name of it, or find it for that matter, lol.
My Love Affair With Trains. ♥️
