lyrics

Two Minutes and Thirty Eight Seconds
Is All I Need
To Tell You People
About My Misery

Baby's Gone And Left Me Flat
Caught That Train and Just Like That

I Sat and Cried
I Sat and Cried
(He Sat and Cried)
(He Sat and Cried)

Then The Sunset Flashed
Across The Window Pane
Against The Rail Of Baby's Goodbye Train
Shown On The Passing Track Close By
Where I Was Sitting There
Screaming On The Greasy Tile

I Sat and Cried
I Sat and Cried
(He Sat and Cried)
(He Sat and Cried)

Down In The Tracks
By The Jungle's Glade
Across The Cool Green Grass
And The Tree Of Shade
I Shill A Ride
And Slowly Drag Home
Cause I Look Like A Beatnik's Bones

I Sat and Cried
I Sat and Cried
(He Sat and Cried)
(He Sat and Cried)

Upon Everything I Had
Now I'm Flat Broke
Used To Be A Big Shot
Hey! What a Joke
Help Me Help Me If You Can
Cause I Look Like A Monkey Man
My Eyes Are Red Feel Like I'm Gonna Choke
Looking Down The Track Watching My Baby Smoke

I Sat and Cried
I Sat and Cried
(He Sat and Cried)
(He Sat and Cried)

Fast Horses And Women
Out All Night Long
Both She and I Knew
I Was Dead Wrong
I Hung My Head
I Could Still Hear Her Say
"I'll Be Gone Somehow Someday"

I Sat and Cried
I Sat and Cried
(He Sat and Cried)
(He Sat and Cried)

Then An Eastbound Stock Train
Hung The Rails
She Was Doin' The Switch
To Clear The Mail
The Stock Rolled In
And Off The Main
And Left The Live Wire Open
On My Baby's Train
As It Heaved and Sighed
And Fell Off The Track
She Was Working Up Steam
Something I Didn't Lack
Then She Screamed Over At The Whistle Post
And Shot By Me Like A Fighting Ghost

Thought She Was Coming Back
I Thought She Was Coming Back
(He Had A Funny Thought)
(He Had A Funny Thought)
