Jackson Station

Jackson Station The Band of Heathens verse 1 Well Mamas’ got a voice like sugar, it’s so sweet and fine Sister sang amazing grace she’s right in time And they’re laying poor poppa low, in the ground that he worked and sowed And I’ll be waiting at the Jackson Station for the train to roll verse 2 She’s been up all night, she got crows walking around her eyes But she can still raise a cup in a toast till the well ran dry He left her on a Tuesday still, with gin, whiskey and a bottle of pills And now she’s waitin’ at the Jackson Station looking over the hill Bridge Take me away hear that whistle play a sad sad song Lay me down where the river runs wide and strong Sometimes she rides a ticket home Other times she'll leave you all alone Just a waiting at the Jackson Station waiting for the train to go verse 3 Well the four nineteen rolls on the red ball line And the backwater shacks awaken to the four one nine And she’s got smoke coming out of her stack Dead running on a ten mile track She’s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back She’s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back hold She’s waiting at the Jackson Station never coming back Ain’t never coming back Harmonica Solo end Submitted by Bob O’Neill
