A Railroad Man for Me Lyrics

Lyrics by Anonymous

I wouldn’t marry a farmer
He’s always in the dirt
I’d rather marry a railroad man
Who wears a striped shirt!

Chorus:
Oh, a railroad man, a railroad man,
A railroad man for me!
I’m going to marry a railroad man
A railroader’s bride I’ll be

I wouldn’t marry a blacksmith
He’s always in the black
I’d rather marry an engineer
That throws the throttle back

Chorus

From By the Shores of Silver Lake
