I said, "I hear you, mister and you do your job well But I hear it won't be for long They'll be sending the mail by the wire and the rail And your pony and you will be gone --- Instrumental --- He came in and sit down at the end of the bar His coveralls covered with dust He said Jesse James had just held up his train He talked to himself and he cussed He pulled out of St. Joe early that morning With the mail and the union payroll Had to stop for a rockslide outside Jackson City And Jesse made off with the gold He said to me, "Mister, this railroading's hell But I guess it's got to be done Otherwise how would you get all you mail If that old iron horse couldn't run?" I said, "I hear you,mister and you do your job well But I hear it won't be for long They'll be sending the mail without you or the rail 'Cause they say man will fly before long." --- Instrumental --- He came in and sit down at the end of the bar His face looked all haggard and grey He ordered a drink and said, "Make it a double Boys it's sure been a long day." He pulled out of Denver early that morning He said, "You'll never guess where I've been A highjacker needed a lift down to Cuba So your mail will be late getting in." I said, "I hear you, mister and you do your job well But you know it ain't been that long They were doing it best with the pony express Before you and your friends came along." --- Instrumental to fade --- Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Roll On Eighteen Wheeler, Sad Lookin Moon, Sad lookin moon, Sad looking Moon, Santa Claus, Santa Claus (I Still Believe in You), See The Embers Feel The Flame, See The Embers Feel The Flames, Shaggin On The Boulevard, She Aint Your Ordinary Girl, She and I, She Can, She I, She Put The Sad In All His Songs, Shes A Lady Down On Love, Shes Got that Look in Her Eyes, Shes Got That Look In Her Eyes, Simple As That, Small Stuff, Some Other Place, Some Other Time, Sometimes Out Of Touch, Song of the South, Southern Star, Start Living, Starting Tonight, Still Goin Strong, Take A Little Trip, Take Me Down, Takin Care of Business, Taking Care Of Business (live), Tar Top, Tennessee Christmas, Tennessee River, The Blessings, The Borderline, The Cheap Seats, The Christmas Spirit, The Closer You Get, The Fan, The Fans, The Maker Said Take Her, The Night Before Christmas, The Pony Express, The Woman He Loves, Then Again, Then We Remember, Theres No Way, Theres A Fire In The Night, Theres No Way, This Loves On Me, Other Alabama song Lyrics "reckless" Lyrics 40 Hour Week Lyrics 40 Hour Week (For A Livin) Lyrics A Candle In The Window Lyrics Alabama - Reckless Lyrics Alabama - Then Again Lyrics Alabama - We Cant Love Like This Anymore Lyrics Alabama - Why Lady Why Lyrics Alabama Sky Lyrics Alabama-Reckless Lyrics Alabama-Then Again Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Alabama 3 Lyrics Alabaster Box Lyrics Alabina Lyrics Alacranes Musicales Lyrics Aladdin Lyrics Aladdin Soundtrack Lyrics Aladino Lyrics Alain Barriere Lyrics Alain Barriere Novelle Cordier Lyrics Alain Clark Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
