Lyrics
I hear the train a comin'
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Armley prison, and time keeps draggin' on
but that train keeps a rollin' right down to South London..
When I was just a baby my mother told me. Son,
always be a good boy, but try and have some fun.
So I shot some pool in prison just to pass the time
now when I hear those pool balls clinkin' I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich men eating in a fancy new wine bar
I'd hate to drink their coffees or smoke their big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, they should have let me be
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little further down the line
far from Armley prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Armley prison, and time keeps draggin' on
but that train keeps a rollin' right down to South London..
When I was just a baby my mother told me. Son,
always be a good boy, but try and have some fun.
So I shot some pool in prison just to pass the time
now when I hear those pool balls clinkin' I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich men eating in a fancy new wine bar
I'd hate to drink their coffees or smoke their big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, they should have let me be
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little further down the line
far from Armley prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
