Dusty Boxcar Wall
Eric Andersen

(Chorus)

I’m going away my baby,

I’m gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

(Verse 1)

I once had a true love in old Kentucky

I once had a love in sunny Tennessee

But a New York gal brought me pain and sadness

Now I’m here as lonely as I can be

(Chorus)

I’m going away my baby,

I’m gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

(Verse 2)

City women bring you grief and sorrow

Country girls are as sweet as they can be

City women are cold and they are shallow

But a country girl’s love is as deep as the deep blue sea


(Chorus)

I’m going away my baby,

I’m gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall

(Instrumental)

(Verse 3)

Oh when I die and go to heaven

That’ll be the last train ride I’ll ever see

They’ll put a silver spike upon my gravestone

And my casket beneath a weeping willow tree

(Chorus)

I’m going away my baby,

I’m gonna leave you pretty gal

For a train passed by while you lay sleeping

I’ll write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall
