Send My Body Home On a Freight Train — текст песни (Randy Travis)

Well that judge he found me guilty of wrong doing
he sentenced me to hang in mid-july
He look down at me and said you are a ruin
If I were you I`d break right down and cry
But nobody seems to care that I ain`t guilty
I never did the things they said I`ve done
But it looks like they`re gonna to hang somebody
and it`s lookin like I`m goin to be the one


chorus,


(So just) send my body home on a freight train
and don`t worry none that I don`t go first class
Send my body home on a freight train
So everyone can see me when I pass
and don`t worry none about no fancy funeral
it don`t matter how they lay me down
see they bury me out by mama`s apple tree
and just send my body back to my home town

Verse 2

My mama was one damn hard workin woman
she tried to raise us kids without a pa
the last thing that she said she was on her dying bed
was boy don`t get in trouble with the law
Well whenever my time comes to meet my maker
I`m going to try to do my very best
I`m going to stand and take it like a man
when they ask if I have one request

I`ll say .....(repeat chorus)
