Jim Reeves - A Railroad Bum Lyrics
I used to be a railroad bum a living on the go
I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico
From sunny Cal to Minnesota where the rippling waters falls
I never seemed to have a dime but I had myself a ball.
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.
I walked in the Silver Dollar in Reno one night
I Dropped a quarter in a one armed bandit
The lemons lined up right
Took my winnings then played poker
And I won ten thousand more
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
When cotton's white in Tennessee
And shrimp boats sail in Maine
Peach picking time soon will find me ridin' a Georgia train
Couse I get restless when I'm still I guess I always will
Want to keep traveling all my life over another hill.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore.
Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo
I used to be a railroad bum but I'm not anymore...
