Jackson Station Lyrics

This is the first little walk up to G in the very beginning
Momma got a voice like sugar its so sweat and fine
sister sing amazing grace she right in time
and their laying pour pappa low in the ground that he worked and sowed
and now their waiting at the jackson station for the train to roll
She'd been up all night she got crows running round her eyes
but she could still raise a cup in a toast till the well ran dry
he left her on a tuesday still with gin whiskey and a bottle of pills
and now she's waiting at the jackson station looking over the hill
Chorus:
Take me away hear a whistle play a sad sad song
Lay me down where the river runs wide and strong
sometimes you ride a ticket home
other times she'll leave you all alone
just waiting at the Jackson station for the train to go
Well the four nineteen rolls on the rivers side
and the back watershacks went waken to the floors one night
Said you got the smoke comin out of the stack
Their running on a ten mile track
Still waiting at the Jackson station never coming back
Still waiting at the Jackson station never coming back
Still waiting at the Jackson station never coming back
Say it aint never comin back
