Lyric Charleston Railroad Tavern

(Jerry Dean Smith)

Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sittlin up till I m blind
She left on that 5-0-9
Eastern standard blue time.

My baby left this evening
I d changed all this if I could
But her train just pulled out of sight
I know she s gone for good.

So Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sittlin up till I m blind
She left on that 5-0-9
Eastern standard blue time.

I stayed out so many nights
The crowd downtown was fun
But her love had turned to hate
Before I knew the harm I d done.

Now the laughing tavern crowd is gone
I m so lonesome I could die
The man just said it s closing time
Guess I ll go home and cry.

So Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sittlin up till I m blind
She left on that 5-0-9
Eastern standard blue time...
