Pretty Little Girl From Galax Songtext
Well I′ve been saving nickels
And lookin' for dimes
Cleanin′ out my pockets for all the money I can find
My days are filled with sadness
And every night I pine
For my sweetheart's in Virginia
And I'm in ′Caroline
Hey mister won′t you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I've got to find a way, can′t wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
I jumped an open freight car
Thought that would be alright
'Till the brakeman caught me sleepin′ in the middle of the night
So I've been out here walkin′ with my thumb up in the air
Checkin' passin' cars for someone to get me there
Hey mister won′t you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I′ve got to find a way, can't wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
Now she can play the fiddle
Best you′ve ever heard
And when she sings a sad song
I hang on every word
Been so long since I've seen her in that little mountain town
I just need someone to pick me up
And lay that hammer down
Hey mister won′t you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I've got to find a way, can′t wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
Mister won't you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I've got to find a way, can′t wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
And lookin' for dimes
Cleanin′ out my pockets for all the money I can find
My days are filled with sadness
And every night I pine
For my sweetheart's in Virginia
And I'm in ′Caroline
Hey mister won′t you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I've got to find a way, can′t wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
I jumped an open freight car
Thought that would be alright
'Till the brakeman caught me sleepin′ in the middle of the night
So I've been out here walkin′ with my thumb up in the air
Checkin' passin' cars for someone to get me there
Hey mister won′t you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I′ve got to find a way, can't wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
Now she can play the fiddle
Best you′ve ever heard
And when she sings a sad song
I hang on every word
Been so long since I've seen her in that little mountain town
I just need someone to pick me up
And lay that hammer down
Hey mister won′t you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I've got to find a way, can′t wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
Mister won't you take me
Farther on down the tracks
I've got to find a way, can′t wait another day
To see my pretty little girl from Galax
