| | Great Nashville Railroad Desister Lyrics Artist(Band):David Allan Coe
Three hundred men with ebony skin pulled out of Union Station Headed out of Nashville for western Tennessee Homeward bound cause Uncle Sam closed down the munitions factory At that very moment on the Cheatham County line Old No 1 train from Memphis was runnin' way behind Buck in the smokey club car a Memphis gamblin' man Said gentlemen I'm foldin' these cards cause I drew a dead man's hand A young man in a milk truck out near Dutchman's Grade Said my God two trains one track then he closed his eyes and he prayed A sister from the orphan's home made a cross upon her chest Cause a one iron beast was comin' from the east And another one was comin' from the west The birds flew from the treetops as the impact shook the ground The scaming wheels and the grinding steel could be hard for miles around The birds flew from the treetops... Now every July 9th a few miles west of town To this day some folks will say you can hear that mournful sound One sultry summer morning in the year of 19-18 Three hundred men with ebony skin pulled out of Union Station If you find some error in Great Nashville Railroad Desister Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
