The Diplomat - Johnny Cash[00:00:01]

He slowly raised the trembling hand[00:00:15]

Gently brushed the silver strand[00:00:18]

Of hair from his wrinkled brow[00:00:22]

Lips that used to talk so free[00:00:26]

The eyes that used to beckon me[00:00:29]

Were silent now[00:00:32]

He listens to a passin' train[00:00:35]

Gives into an old familiar pain[00:00:38]

Familiar pain[00:00:43]

They retired him twenty years ago[00:00:47]

Gave him a watch made of gold[00:00:50]

And took his train[00:00:53]

His woman's name was Margaret[00:00:57]

He loved her but she went away[00:01:00]

And left his heart undone[00:01:03]

He called this train the Diplomat[00:01:08]

She's the only other lady that he ever loved[00:01:11]

Some forty years he made the steam[00:01:17]

From Memphis down to New Orleans[00:01:20]

But now he's off the line[00:01:23]

And the closest that he ever gets to Margaret[00:01:28]

Or the Diplomat is in his mind[00:01:32]

He said take me to the station[00:01:38]

The Diplomat is bringing Margaret home[00:01:42]

Can't you hear that whistle blowing[00:01:48]

They both know I've been alone for much too long[00:01:53]

Let's not keep 'em waitin'[00:01:59]

We'll talk about the good times later on[00:02:02]

Right now take me to the station[00:02:08]

The Diplomat is bringing Margaret home[00:02:13]

They say he talks crazy when he sees the passin' train[00:02:20]

Or when he hears Margaret's name[00:02:27]

But the only things he ever loved he lost before[00:02:33]

He loved enough he's not to blame[00:02:37]

So who's to say he's right or wrong[00:02:42]

Reachin' out and hangin' on[00:02:45]

To dreams he can't let go[00:02:47]

He threw the watch of gold away[00:02:53]

But keeps tracks of memories[00:02:56]

Where he belongs[00:02:59]

He said take me to the station[00:03:03]

The Diplomat is bringing Margaret home[00:03:07]

Can't you hear that whistle blowing[00:03:12]

They both know I've been alone for much too long[00:03:17]

Let's not keep 'em waitin'[00:03:23]

We'll talk about the good times later on[00:03:26]

Right now take me to the station the Diplomat is bringing Margaret home[00:03:32]

They retired him twenty years ago[00:03:44]

Gave him a watch made of gold[00:03:48]

And took daddy's train[00:03:52]
