Railroad Lullaby Lyrics

do you remember when i told you
that i had a tale to tell?
let me regale you, child
about a life spent on the rail
forget me not, don't forget it
cuz i'll be gone in a minute...

and whenever the drugstore man
used to come around
i'd b*** my lip
and then i'd take myself to town
forget me not, don't forget it
cuz i'll be gone in a minute...
don't call me no more, no more
nobody ever needs ya
when you're this far gone

now you say the train's a'comin'
but i don't see it on the track
last train's eleven
and it ain't comin' back
forget me not . . .
