Southern Dixie Flyer - Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
At the station house one day[00:00:07]
Was a lady old and gray[00:00:11]
I could tell her heart was feeling sad and low[00:00:14]
With a teardrop in her eye[00:00:21]
She was trying not to cry[00:00:25]
I determined then her story I would know[00:00:28]
I ventured a word[00:00:35]
Then a sad sad tale I heard[00:00:38]
Of a mother who had lost her only child[00:00:42]
Yes they've taken her away[00:00:49]
These words I heard her say[00:00:52]
And they're travelling on that Southern Dixie Flyer[00:00:56]
She was only sweet sixteen[00:01:03]
And the only joy I've seen[00:01:06]
What God has given now he takes away[00:01:10]
She'll be taken home again[00:01:17]
On that southbound railroad train[00:01:20]
To be laid there with her daddy in the grave[00:01:24]
I've no money of my own[00:01:31]
I can't even take her home[00:01:34]
But I want to be there with my heart's desire[00:01:37]
But then she could say no more[00:01:45]
As the echo drifted o'er[00:01:48]
Was the whistle of that Southern Dixie Flyer[00:01:51]
As the train pulled out of sight[00:01:58]
And the day became as night[00:02:02]
Was a scene to bring a tear to any eye[00:02:05]
Just a lady all alone[00:02:12]
Not a thing to call her own[00:02:16]
But some memories from a better day gone by[00:02:19]
I knew right away[00:02:26]
There was nothing I could say[00:02:30]
To soothe her heart[00:02:33]
Or dry those tear dimmed eyes[00:02:36]
So I turned to walk away[00:02:40]
From the lady old and gray[00:02:44]
Whose heart was on that Southern Dixie Flyer[00:02:47]
I've no money of my own[00:02:54]
I can't even take her home[00:02:58]
But I want to be there with my heart's desire[00:03:01]
But then she could say no more[00:03:08]
As the echo drifted o'er[00:03:12]
Was the whistle of that Southern Dixie Flyer[00:03:15]
