Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Jackie Washington songtekst

Je score:


(Linden) 



Jackie Washington rode the rails way back in World War II

Playing his guitar in the sleeper car to lullaby the lucky few

He worked the Canadian Pacific line

To satisfy his wandering bones

There weren't a lot of men that he couldn't call friend

Or places that he couldn't call home good Lord,

Places that he couldn't call home



Saying Mr. Conductor put the hammer down

I'm not gonna rest ‘til I reach hammer town

I got a girl on the East Side

And there's a band on the West Side

Playing blues and sentimental



He never crossed over that American border

Though he lived just a few miles away

He said ‘everything I need I can find right here

– North of the USA'

Guitar and piano and a thousand tunes

And his brothers just playing all night

Singing every song from the hit parade

And swinging by the steel mill light good Lord,

Swinging by the steel mill light



Saying Mr. Conductor....



Jackie Washington takes the stage

The same way that he's always been

Lighting up the aisles with a heavenly smile

And bringing everybody in

Jackie made 80 back in ‘99 - still he plays every show that he can

And there's a midnight train rolling somewhere tonight

And Jackie's strumming like a steel-driving man good Lord,

Strumming like a steel-driving man



Saying Mr. Conductor...



Hey Jackie Washington, long may your sweet song carry on

Everybody on the East Side

And everybody on the West side

Loves the blues and sentimental
