Ed Bell Mean Conductor Blues
That same train same engineer
Took my woman away Lord left me standing here
My girl caught a passenger I caught the mamlish blinds
Hey you can't quit me ain't no need a‑trying
Hey Mr conductor let a broke man ride your blinds
You better buy you a ticket know this train ain't mine
I just want to blind it from this half‑good town
When she blows for the crossing I'm going ease it on
I pray to the Lord that Southern would wreck
Till they kill that fireman break that engineer's neck
I stand here looking up at the rising sun
Some train don't run why be some walking done
