Charleston Railroad Tavern Testo

(Jerry Dean Smith)

Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sittlin' up till I'm blind
She left on that 5-0-9
Eastern standard blue time.

My baby left this evening
I'd changed all this if I could
But her train just pulled out of sight
I know she's gone for good.

So Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sittlin' up till I'm blind
She left on that 5-0-9
Eastern standard blue time.

I stayed out so many nights
The crowd downtown was fun
But her love had turned to hate
Before I knew the harm I'd done.

Now the laughing tavern crowd is gone
I'm so lonesome I could die
The man just said it's closing time
Guess I'll go home and cry.

So Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sittlin' up till I'm blind
She left on that 5-0-9
Eastern standard blue time...
