Karaoké Jackson Station The Band of Heathens

Mama got a voice like sugar

It's so sweet and fine

Sister singin' Amazing Grace

She right in time

And they're layin' poor papa low in the ground that he worked and sowed

Now they waitin' at the Jackson Station for the train to roll

She been up all night

She got crows walkin' 'round her eyes

But she can still raise a cup in a toast to a well run dry

He left her on a Tuesday still with gin, whiskey and a bottle of pills

And now she's waitin' at the Jackson Station lookin' over the hill

Take me away

Hear that whistle play a sad, sad song

Lay me down where the river runs wide and strong

Sometimes she rides a ticket home other times she'll leave you all alone

Just a-waitin' at the Jackson Station for the train to go

Well the four-nineteen rolls on the Red Ball Line

And the backwater shack's been wakin' to the four-one-nine

Said she got the smoke comin' out of the stack

Dead runnin' on a ten-mile track

Just waitin' at the Jackson Station

Never comin' back

She's waitin' at the Jackson Station

Never comin' back

She's waitin' at the Jackson Station

Never comin' back

Say

Oh yeah

Ain't never comin' back yeah
