Griffith Nanci - Morning Train Lyrics

Elkins/Field There's a morning train That's headed for New Orleans Carrying business men and week day shoppers I have sixteen bucks and a dollar in change And that's not a bad price for a one way ride On a morning train I give you my devotion You left me heartsick Oh, you couldn't have hurt me more Not working with a night stick Now I'm tired of sharin' this bed of nails So come first light I'm gonna be right With the morning train So goodbye lover, I'm goin' undercover Crescent City's gonna swallow me I'll skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River When it sinks I won't feel a thing When it sinks I won't feel a thing I'm gonna be stayin' With a short time acquaintance And when I met him he was playin' On the Gulf Breeze circuit He didn't play no hit songs or TV themes He's a guitar man just a hired hand From a local band So goodbye lover, I'm goin' undercover Crescent City's gonna swallow me Gonna skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River When it sinks I won't feel a thing When it sinks I won't feel a thing Hear the whistles blowing loud ... Instrumental ... When I hit the station I'll take a taxi to the corner I'm gonna meet him by a street car Name of what-cha-ma-call-it My imagination Won't let us miss a thing Life's gonna be fine when I leave him behind On a mornin' train So goodbye lover, I'm goin' undercover Crescent City's gonna swallow me Gonna skip my ring 'cross the Mississippi River When it sinks I won't feel a thing When it sinks I won't feel a thing Griffith Nanci Lyrics Morning Train Lyrics
