In the twilight glow, I see
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we’d never meet again
Take my hankerchief, wipe your eyes
(I’m gonna miss you)
Maybe you’ll find, you’ll find another guy
(I’m gonna miss you)
Let’s kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I’m gonna miss you)
Please, don’t you cry
Don’t cry, daddy
Daddy, please don’t cry
Daddy, you’ve still got me and little Tommy
And together we’ll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy, ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please, don’t cry
Where is its mother go take it to her

While the train rolled onwards the husband sat in tears

In the baggage coach ahead
I hear that train a’comin’
It’s rollin’ ‘round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when
I’m stuck in Crescent City
And time keeps draggin’ on
I said, train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
With a “heave!”, and a ho!
But I just couldn’t tell her so, no, no, no
Well, the Illinois Central
And the Southern Central Freight
Got to keep on pushin’, mama
You know they’re runnin’ late
Little red caboose
Little red caboose
Little red caboose
Behind the train, the train
Take the last train to Clarksville,
I’ll meet you at the station…
Well, I wait around the train station
Waitin’ for that train
Waitin’ for the train, yeah
Take me away, yeah
From this lonesome place
Rudy’s on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don’t want to get there, but he needs time
He ain’t sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain’t heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
The passengers will please refrain
This train got the disappearing railroad blues
I’m a-going to tell you how it’s going to be
You’re gonna give your love to me
I want to love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
A-well, you know my love will not fade away
Not Fade Away. Buddy Holly
I met an old mistake
Walking down the street today
I met an old mistake
Walking down the street today
I didn’t want to be mean about it
But I didn’t have one good word to say
West L.A. fadeaway
West L.A. fadeaway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey hey hey
I met my old lover on the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can’t help myself
Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy
Crazy on you, yeah
There goes my baby
She knows how to rock and roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat
I’m crazy for trying, and crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you.
Crazy – Patsy Cline
