I was just a rail-riding man
Well I was just a rail-riding man
Long before she took me in
Well she patched all my bullet holes
She patched all my bullet holes
And she sewed my torn up clothes
She said hard times, they last too long
She said hard times, they last too long
Played me the shortest sweetest songs
She stands by the garden walls
Yeah my baby stands by the garden walls
She's my little darlin' she's my angel doll
She said hard times, they last too long
She said hard times, they last too long
Played me the shortest sweetest song
*instrument break*
Well dollar, is coarse and cold
Yeah greenback dollar, is coarse and cold
Oh not my baby, she's as good as gold
She says hard times, they last too long
She said hard times, they last too long
Played me the shortest, sweetest song
She said hard times, they last too long
My baby said hard times, they last too long
Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs
Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs
Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs
Beautiful
