Pretty Little Girl From Galax

Well I've been saving nickels And lookin' for dimes Cleanin' out my pockets for all the money I can find My days are filled with sadness And every night I pine For my sweetheart's in Virginia And I'm in 'Caroline Hey mister won't you take me Farther on down the tracks I've got to find a way, can't wait another day To see my pretty little girl from Galax I jumped an open freight car Thought that would be alright 'Till the brakeman caught me sleepin' in the middle of the night So I've been out here walkin' with my thumb up in the air Checkin' passin' cars for someone to get me there Hey mister won't you take me Farther on down the tracks I've got to find a way, can't wait another day To see my pretty little girl from Galax Now she can play the fiddle Best you've ever heard And when she sings a sad song I hang on every word Been so long since I've seen her in that little mountain town I just need someone to pick me up And lay that hammer down Hey mister won't you take me Farther on down the tracks I've got to find a way, can't wait another day To see my pretty little girl from Galax Mister won't you take me Farther on down the tracks I've got to find a way, can't wait another day To see my pretty little girl from Galax
