I Sat and Cried

Two minutes and thirty-eight seconds, that's all I need

To tell you people of my misery

Baby's gone and left me flat

Caught that train and just like that

I sat and cried

I sat and cried

He sat and cried

He sat and cried

Then the sunset flashed across the window pane

It's the rain of baby's goodbye train

It shone on the passin' track close by

Where I was sittin' there screamin' on a greasy tire

I sat and cried

I sat and cried

He sat and cried

He sat and cried

Down by the tracks in the jungle's glade

In the cool green grass and the tree's shade

I shall arise and slowly drag home

'Cause I look like death, eatin' neck bones

I sat and cried

I sat and cried

He sat and cried

He sat and cried

Pawned everything I had, now I'm flat broke

Used to be a big shot, hey, what a joke

Help me, help me if you can

I look like a monkey man

My eyes are red, feel like I'm gonna choke

Lookin' down the track watchin' my baby smoke

I sat and cried

I sat and cried

He sat and cried

He sat and cried

Fast horses and women out all night long

She and I both knew that I was dead wrong

I hung my head, I could still hear her say

I'll be gone somehow, someday

I sat and cried

I sat and cried

Sat and cried

He sat and cried

And an eastbound stock train hummed the rails

She was due at the switch to clear the mail

The stock rolled in and off the main

That left the line wide open for baby's train

As it heaved in sight, far up the track

She was workin' up schemes, somethin' I didn't like

And then she screamed once at the whistle post

And then shot by me like a fightin' ghost

Thought she was comin' back

Thought she was comin' back

He had a funny thought

He had a funny thought
