Dusty Boxcar Wall

Eilen Jewell


Well I'm going away my baby 
I'm gonna leave you honey now 
Well that train passed by when you lay sleeping 
I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall 

The only two things a gambler needs 
Are a suitcase and a trunk 
And the only time that he's satisfied 
Is when he's on the drunk 

I once loved a boy in Cincinnati 
I loved a boy in sunny Tennessee 
Well a city boy will fill your heart with sadness 
But a country boy's as good as he can be
