Betting on Trains (Messé)

(Capo 6)

	


someone's waving

someone's counting
 				
someone's leaving 


there's fifty dollars on this pony
		     	
chase him down these tracks

well won't nobody take my business
			   	
i'll teach you how to come back 
			   			   
i saw one hundred miles of steel over wood and let her go
		           				 
i filled my pockets up with coal black with mud and let her go 

i'll throw my hat off when i beat you
find it when you're gone 
there's straw and cotton around the station
i'll make myself a new one 
i held a silver dollar tight inside my fist and let you go
i've counted all the things i've lost that point to this and let you go 


the whistle's sounding

you are leaving

i am counting
