Greenville Trestle High - Doc Watson[00:00:00]
I remember as a boy[00:00:11]
How I'd wander and enjoy[00:00:14]
I'd watch the trains as they'd go by[00:00:17]
And the whistle's lonely sound[00:00:22]
You could hear for miles around[00:00:24]
As they rolled across that Greenville trestle high [00:00:27]
But the whistles don't sound like they used to[00:00:32]
Lately not many trains go by[00:00:37]
Hard times across the land[00:00:42]
Mean no work for the railroad man[00:00:44]
And the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high [00:00:47]
On the river bank I'd stand[00:01:13]
With a cane pole in my hand[00:01:15]
Watch the freight trains up against the sky[00:01:18]
With black smoke trailing back[00:01:23]
As they moved along the track[00:01:25]
That runs across that Greenville trestle high [00:01:28]
But the whistles don't sound like they used to[00:01:33]
Lately not many trains go by[00:01:38]
Hard times across this land[00:01:43]
Mean no work for the railroad man[00:01:45]
And the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high [00:01:48]
When the lonesome whistles wind[00:02:33]
I get ramblin' on my mind[00:02:35]
Lord I wish they still sounded that way[00:02:38]
As I turned to head for home[00:02:43]
Lord she'd rumble low and long[00:02:46]
Towards the sunset at the close of day[00:02:49]
No the whistles don't sound like they used to[00:02:53]
Lately not many trains go by[00:02:59]
Hard times across the land[00:03:03]
Mean no work for the railroad man[00:03:06]
And the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high [00:03:09]
And the Greenville trestle now don't seem so high[00:03:14]
