  • Golden Rocket by Hank Snow Lyrics



    'Board...

    From old Montana down to Alabam'
    I've been before and I'll travel again
    You triflin' women can't keep a good man down
    You dealt the cards, but you missed the play
    So hit the road and be on your way
    Gonna board the Golden Rocket and leave this town

    I was a good engine a-runnin' on time
    But baby I'm switchin' to another line
    So honey never hang your signal out for me
    I'm tired of runnin' on the same old track
    Bought a one-way ticket and I won't be back
    This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away

    Hear that lonesome whistle blow
    That's your cue and by now you know
    That I got another true lover waitin' in Tennessee
    This Midnight Special's a-burnin' the rail
    So woman don't try to follow my trail
    This Golden Rocket's gonna roll my blues away

    Hear her thunder on through the night
    This Golden Rocket is a-doin' me right
    And that sunny old Southland sure is a part of me
    Now from your call-board erase my name
    Your fire went out, you done lost your flame
    And this Golden Rocket is a-rollin' my blues away

    That old conductor, he seemed to know
    You'd done me wrong, I was feelin' low
    For he yelled aloud, we're over that Dixon Line
    The brakeman started singing a song
    Said you're worried now, but it won't be long
    This Golden Rocket is leavin' your blues behind

    Then the porter yelled with his southern drawl
    Let's rise and shine good mornin' you all
    And I sprang to my feet to greet the newborn day
    When I kissed my baby in the station door
    That whistle blew like it never before
    On the Golden Rocket that rolled my blues away
