Marlborough Street Blues - Ian & Sylvia

Well, a freight train come by here, it’s 23 boxcar long

Freight train roll by here, 'twas 23 boxcar long

Sometime late last night, should be on a train and gone

Oh, Lord, I don’t know one woman in this town

Oh, I don’t know one woman in this town

There’s plenty of jobs around, but it’s only cleaning cars

Plenty of jobs around, but it’s only washing cars

Forty-two a week, you roll your own, don’t make the bars

Lord, Lord, Lord, I don’t know one woman in this town

Oh, I don’t know one woman in this town

Oh, there’s a crack under the door

And the snow drifts through inside

But no letters and no money

From all my friends outside

Oh, when you’re with a girl, freight train don’t sound so bad

Oh, when you’re with a girl, freight train don’t sound so bad

But when you’re all alone, oh the blues get low and sad

Oh, Lord, Lord, I don’t know one woman in this town

Oh, I don’t know one woman in this town

Oh, there’s a crack under the door

And the snow drifts through inside

But no letters and no money

From all my friends outside

Oh, when you’re with a girl, freight train don’t sound so bad

Oh, when you’re with a girl, freight train don’t sound so bad

But when you’re all alone, oh the blues get low and sad

Oh, Lord, I don’t know one woman in this town

Oh, I don’t know one woman in this town
