when my day comes

when i grow old mama and my days are through

when i grow old mama and my days are through

i got no need mama to lay my burden on you

if you see me rusting

don't you grease my chain

if you see me rusting

mama

don't you grease my chain

ain't no oar mama

gonna ease this poor boy's pain

hear my dream coming close to that county line

the good lord heard my prayer

brought that train right on time

yes it did

do y'all hear me?

when i close my eyes

lay me 'neath that willow tree

yes

when i close my eyes

lay me 'neath that willow tree

don't you shed no tears

mama

let that willow weep for me

hear my dream coming closing over that county line

the good lord heard my prayer

brought that train right on time

the good lord heard my prayer

brought that train right on time

ease my worried mind

that's that train of mine

brought in right on time

pull the switch
