No Brass Band - Jeannie C. Riley[00:00:00]
The train whistle blew for coal road crossin' in[00:00:09]
And a few more minutes we'll pull into town[00:00:14]
I'll have to face the folks who'll come to meet us[00:00:19]
I'll try to keep the tears from fallin' down[00:00:23]
It won't be the way we always had it pictured[00:00:28]
The day me and daddy went away[00:00:33]
He told 'em we'll come back so rich and famous[00:00:38]
And you'll have a big brass band all set to play[00:00:42]
But there'll be no brass band at the station[00:00:47]
There'll be no smiles and no celebration[00:00:52]
For daddy there'll just be a black hearse waiting[00:00:57]
And no brass band at the station[00:01:02]
We left two years ago come next september[00:01:11]
The letters I wrote were full of lies[00:01:16]
For me and daddy never hit the big time[00:01:21]
We got our meals down in a welfare line[00:01:25]
Daddy met up with some men who planned a robbery[00:01:30]
They said with daddy's brains he'd go real far[00:01:35]
But he never got beyond the first colt bullet[00:01:39]
Now daddy's in a pinebox in the baggage car[00:01:44]
And there'll be no brass band at the station[00:01:49]
There'll be no smiles and no celebration[00:01:54]
For daddy there'll just be a black hearse waiting[00:01:59]
And no brass band at the station[00:02:03]
And no brass band at the station[00:02:13]
