RAILROAD WORKSONG
Working on a railroad for a dollar a day

Working on a railroad good buddy for a dollar a day
Gotta get my money gotta get my pay

Tell him I was flying tell him I was flying
If he asks you was I laughing
If he asks you was I laughing
If he asks you good buddy was I laughing
Tell him I was crying tell him I was crying

Bewildered 2:36
composer Whitcup/Powell
BEWILDERED
Bewildered
Lost in a dream of you
Where is the love that I once knew
Why did we part?
Bewildered
I'm helpless without you dear
Wishing your heart could hear
What's in my heart
Why must I have theses sleepless nights
And endless days
But love, you took my soul
Without a thought
I'm in the dark
Bewildered
I need your guiding hand
I will never understand
Why did you leave me bewildered
Why must I have theses sleepless nights
And endless days
But love, you took my soul
Without a thought
I'm in the dark
Bewildered
I need your guiding hand
I will never understand
How could you leave me bewildered

Your Own Sweet Way 4:31
composer Mark Knopfler
YOUR OWN SWEET WAY
There is nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
You'll do what you want to
You'll go your own sweet way
You'll go your own sweet
Your own sweet way
You'll go your own sweet
Your own sweet way
Now I can talk to you serious
I can talk to you nice
But when it comes to love
You won't take good advice
You'll go your own sweet
Your own sweet way
You'll go your own sweet
Your own sweet way
It doesn't matter what I say
What I do or what I think
You can lead a horse to water
You can't make him drink
You'll go your own sweet
Your own sweet way
You'll go your own sweet
Your own sweet way

Run Me Down 2:25
trad. arr. THE NOTTING HILLBILLIES
RUN ME DOWN
You gotta run me down you gotta run me down
If you want to contact me you gotta run me down
I got work to do I'm the busiest man in town
If you want to contact me you gotta run me down
When I gets my dough I'm kinda hard to find
If you want me to pay your bills you gotta run me down
Now the rooster he crowed an them old hens looked around
Said if you want to make love you gotta run me down
When I had my money you used to follow me around
Now I have got broke you gotta run me down

One Way Gal 3:09
trad. arr. THE NOTTING HILLBILLIES
ONE WAY GAL
One thing I like about this gal of mine
One thing I like about this gal of mine
One thing I like about this gal of mine
She treats me right and loves me all the time
Sometimes I'm broke and blue as I can be
Sometimes I'm broke and blue as I can be
Sometimes I'm broke and blue as I can be
But still my baby she looks after me
She walked in the rain till her feet got soaking wet
She walked in the rain till her feet got soaking wet
She walked in the rain till her feet got soaking wet
And this she said to every man she met
Mister change a dollar - gimme a lousy dime
Mister change a dollar - gimme a lousy dime
Mister change a dollar - gimme a lousy dime
So I can feed that hungry man of mine
That gal of mine she's one way all the time
That gal of mine she's one way all the time
That gal of mine she's one way all the time
She takes the blues away and satisfies my mind

Blues Stay Away From Me 3:50
composer A.Delmore/R.Delmore/W.Raney/H.Glover
BLUES STAY AWAY FROM ME
Blues stay away from me
Blues why don't you let me be
Don't know why
You keep on haunting me
Love was never meant for me
True love was never meant for me
Seems somehow
We never can agree
Life is full of misery
Dreams are like a memory
Bringing back
Your love that used to be
Tears so many I can't see
Years don't mean a thing to me
Time goes by
And I still can't be free
7.
Will You Miss Me 3:51
composer Steve Phillips
WILL YOU MISS ME
Will you miss me, will you miss me
Will you miss me, will you miss me
Will you miss me, miss me when I'm gone
Did you ever dream lucky, wake up cold in hand
Do you look at the stars in the heavens above
Do you sleep on the pillow where my head used to lay
While the moonbeams flicker 'cross your window pane
I'm on my way from here, don't know where I'm going
I'm rolling, rolling down that road
I'm rolling, rolling down that road
Just dreaming about the days of long ago
When darkness falls across the land
There's a shadow cast in the heart of a man
Though the flame of desire burns bright as a star
I hear a cry on the wind like a voice from afar
I'm a stranger here don't know where I'm going
I'm rolling, rolling down that road
I'm rolling, rolling down that road
Just dreaming about the days of long ago
Will you miss me, will you miss me
Will you miss me, will you miss me
Will you miss me, miss me when I'm gone

Please Baby 3:49
trad. arr. THE NOTTING HILLBILLIES
PLEASE BABY
Please baby - please please baby
Won't you come back to your daddy one more time
Please baby - please please baby
When I get my money I will give you my last dime
When you left me babe, you left me feeling so blue
You know that I didn't love no-one but you
Please baby - please please baby
Won't you come back to your daddy one more time
I'm so blue baby, I'm, I'm so blue baby
I can't sleep at night
I can't hardly talk from crying
You know baby, you, you know baby
You always forever on my mind
Since you've been gone I can't sleep at night
Why don't you take my meals I can't eat a bite
Please baby, please please baby
Won't you come back to your daddy one more time
When you left me babe you left me feeling so blue
You know that I didn't love no-one but you
Please baby - please please baby
Won't you come back to your daddy one more time

Weapon Of Prayer 3:10
composer I.&C.Louvin
WEAPON OF PRAYER
In that land across the sea there's a job for you and me
Though our presence there may not be found
We must stay standing there on the battle lines and pray
We must never lay our weapons down
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with the weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
Many thousands miles away someone shed there blood today
With a heart so true and brave they're gone
To a war that's yours and mine let us join the battle line
With a weapon that will save our home
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with the weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
And when the planes and tanks and guns have done all that they can do
And the mighty bombs have rained and failed
Still the helpful hand above, on the weapon made of love
And against him none on earth prevail
10.
That's Where I Belong 2:51
composer Brendan Croker
THAT'S WHERE I BELONG
Show me a place where I don't have to worry
And that's where I belong
Show me a place where I don't have to hurry
And that's where I belong
Give me the time, so I can change my mind
Where it don't matter if I'm wrong
Show me a place where I don't have to worry
And that's where I belong
11.
Feel Like Going Home 4:51
composer Charlie Rich
FEEL LIKE GOING HOME
Lord I feel like going home
I tried and I failed and I'm tired and weary
Everything I ever done was wrong
And I feel like going home
Lord I tried to see it through
But it was too much for me
And now I'm coming home to you
And I feel like going home
Cloudy skies are rolling in
And not a friend around to help me
From all the places I have been
And I feel like going home
Lord I feel like going home
I tried and I failed and I'm tired and weary
Everything I ever done was wrong
And I feel like going home

I Still Miss Someone
I STILL MISS SOMEONE
At my door the leaves are falling
a cold wild wind will come
sweethearts walk by together
and I still miss someone
Tho I never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I go out on a party
and look for a little fun
but I find a darkened corner
cause I still miss someone
I wonder if she's sorry
for leaving what we'd begun
there's someone for me somewhere
and I still miss someone
13.
I Think I Love You Too Much
I THINK I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH
I'm not alone sitting right there
How come I get the feeling, you'd vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, babe
I'm an easy touch
Baby, baby I think I love you too much
If I picked you up, you'd slip right away
If I locked you up, you'd find a way to make me pay
You're gonna hurt me more than anybody else, babe
I'm an easy touch
Baby, baby I think I love you too much
I'm not alone sitting right there
How come I get the feeling, you'd vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, babe
I'm an easy touch
Baby, baby I think I love you too much
Baby, baby I think I love you too much
Baby, baby I think I love you too much

Lonesome Wind Blues 2:32
LONESOME WIND BLUES
I hear the wind blowin' through the lonesome pines,
I know my love is gone too,
I hear the wind blowin' through the lonesome pines,
'cause I'm blue, lonesome blue.
She's gone so far, that's why I'm leaving,
left me here alone among the trees,
And all that I have left is just a memory,
And it always haunts me with a breeze.
I hear the wind blowin' through the lonesome pines,
I know my love is gone too,
I hear the wind blowin' through the lonesome pines,
'cause I'm blue, lonesome blue.
I leave today to try to find my darlin',
I don't know where on earth she can be,
I know that I can never live without her,
Each night in dreams her face is all I see.
I hear the wind blowin' through the lonesome pines,
I know my love has gone too,
I hear the wind blowin' through the lonesome pines,
That's why I'm blue, lonesome blue.

Mississippi blues
MISSISSIPPI BLUES
Goin’ down to the Delta
Where I can have my fun
Goin’ down to the Delta
Where I can have my fun
Where I can drink my white lightnin’, gamble
I can bring my baby home
Don’t the Delta look lonesome
When that evening sun go down?
Don’t this Delta look lonesome
When that evenin’ sun goes down
Well, you been lookin’ for your baby
Don’t know where she could be found
Goin’ back to my use-to-be
Although that she have done me wrong
Goin’ back to my use-to-be
Although that she have done me wrong
Well, I think I’ll have to forgive her
’Cause I’m tired o’ driftin’ through this world alone
She treats me dirty
But I love her just the same
Well, she treats me dirty
But I love her just the same
Well, it just breaks my heart to hear
Lord, some other men call her name
Now goodbye, I’m gon’ leave you
An’ I won’t be back no more
Now goodbye, I’m gon’ leave you
An’ I won’t be back no mo’
Man, my mind gets to ramblin’
See you in Nineteen and Forty-fo’
