Charleston Railroad Tavern Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sit ′em up 'til I′m blind
She left on that 509
Eastern standard blue time

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


So Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sit ′em up ′til I'm blind
She left on that 509
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
Sit ′em up 'til I'm blind
She left on that 509
Eastern standard blue time
