Intro
Chorus 1
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
spendin' her days on the train
She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her
now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again
Verse 1
South station in Boston, to the stock yards of Austin
from the Florida sunshine, to the New Orlean's rain
Now that the rail packs have taken the best tracks
She's tryin', tryin' to get home again
Chorus 2
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
spendin' her days on the train
Once a Pullman car traveller, the switchmen won't have her
She's tryin, just tryin' to get home again
Verse 2
Once a high ballin loner, thought he could own her
he bought her a fur coat and a big diamond ring
but she hocked them for cold cash in a town on the Wabash
Never thinkin', never thinkin' of home way back then
Verse 3
But the rails are now rusty, and the dining cars dusty
and the gold plated watches have taken their toll
And the railroads are dyin', and the lady is cryin'
on a bus to Kentucky at home that's her goal
Chorus 3
She's a railroad lady, just a little bit shady
spendin' her days on the train
She's a semi-good-looker but the fast rails they took her
now she's tryin', tryin' to get home again
On a bus to Kentucky at home once again
