lyrics

I’ve been standing in the rain
under this sycamore tree
Standing in the rain
Under this sycamore tree
I’m gonna ask my lonesome mother
mama have pity on me
I saw that mist was rising
By that old tree line
yes I saw that mist was rising
by the old tree line
at the bottom of that mountain
that watches over me and mine

Chorus

We sat down at the station
by that old railway line
yes we sat down at the station
by that old railway line
when you told me you was leaving
I wrg my hands and cried

Chorus

Well i know that time’s a healer
but you aint ever coming back
yest I know that times a hero
but you aint ever coming back
I know you said you’d send for me
but I don’t like the railway track

Chorus
