Danville Girl - Original Mono-Pete Seeger

I went down to the railroad yard watch that train come by Knew the train would roll that day But I did not know what time I did not know what time boys did not know what time Knew the train would roll that day but I did not know what time Good morning Mister Railroad Man what time does your train roll by Nine sixteen and two forty four twenty five minutes 'til five At nine sixteen two forty four twenty five minutes 'til five Thank you Mister Railroad Man I wanna watch your train roll by Standing on the platform smoking a big cigar Waitin' for some old freight train that carries an empty car I rode her down to Danville Town got stuck on a Danville girl Bet your life she was a pearl she wore that Danville curl She wore her hat on the back of her head like high tone people all do Very next train come down that track I bid that girl adieu I bid that girl adieu poor boys I bid that girl adieu The very next train come down that track I bid that girl adieu
