Rhonda Harris---Marie[00:00:01]
I stood in line and left my name[00:00:01]
Took about six hours or so[00:00:32]
Well the man just grinned like it was all a game[00:00:34]
Said they'd let me know[00:00:39]
I put in my time till the pocono line[00:00:41]
Shut down two years ago[00:00:47]
I was staying at the mission till I met marie[00:00:54]
Now I can't stay there no more[00:00:57]
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man[00:01:00]
To move some old cars around[00:01:11]
Maybe me and marie could find a burned-out[00:01:13]
Van and do a little settlin' down[00:01:19]
Aw but I'm just dreamin' I ain't got no ride[00:01:25]
And the junkyard's a pretty good ways[00:01:29]
That job's about a half week old besides[00:01:32]
It'd be gone now anyway[00:01:37]
Unemployment said I got no more checks[00:01:40]
And they showed me to the hall[00:01:51]
My brother died in georgia some time ago[00:01:55]
I got no one left to call[00:02:01]
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge[00:02:03]
A little short on food that's all[00:02:09]
Now I gotta get marie some kind of coat[00:02:13]
We're headed down into fall[00:02:19]
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good[00:02:21]
Hustled up a little dough[00:02:31]
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled[00:02:34]
A couple of months ago[00:02:42]
They got my harp and they got my dollar[00:02:46]
Them low life so and so's[00:02:52]
Harps cost money and I ain't got it[00:02:53]
It's my own fault I suppose[00:02:57]
The pocono's down but the chesapeak's runnin'[00:03:02]
Two freights everyday[00:03:04]
If it was just me I'd be headed south[00:03:05]
But marie can't catch no train[00:03:07]
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby [00:03:09]
Says we gotta wait and see[00:03:09]
In my heart I know it's a little boy[00:03:10]
Hope he don't end up like me[00:03:11]
Well the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file[00:03:13]
I gotta stand in line again[00:03:14]
I want to kill him but I just say no[00:03:16]
I had enough of that line my friend[00:03:24]
I head back to the bridge it's getting kinda cold[00:03:27]
I'm feelin' too low down to lie[00:03:32]
I guess I'll just tell marie the truth[00:03:35]
Hope she don't break down and cry[00:03:41]
Marie she didn't wake up this morning[00:03:44]
She didn't even try[00:03:54]
She just rolled over and went to heaven[00:04:01]
My little boy safe inside[00:04:04]
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them[00:04:07]
Caught a chesapeak on the fly[00:04:14]
Marie will know I'm headed south[00:04:17]
So's to meet me by and by[00:04:22]
Marie will know I'm headed south[00:04:30]
So to meet me by and by[00:04:33]
