lirik lagu buddy williams (australian) - on the gundagai line

Loading...

i was riding one time on the gundagai line
on a dirty and noisy old freight
with a bag full of straw for my bed on the floor
when somebody put on the brake

at the rear of the train, in the sleet and the rain
in the light of the red lantern’s glow
i found a young hobo laid out on his back
i could see he was fast sinking low

as i knelt by his side, he opened his eyes
and bravely he smiled at me
said, “i guess it’s my time to ride that last line
“so do me a favor, pal, please”

he removed thеn, with pain, a little locket and chain
said, “mother will know it’s from mе
“i was on my way home to settle right down
“but i guess that is never to be”

i saw a big engineer brush away a stray tear
as he raised the young traveler’s poor head
then he took off his cap, and he slowly stepped back
and we all knew the hobo was dead

by a strange trick of fate, i found her too late
for the white~haired old lady was gone
“but it’s better, i know, to have saved her that blow”
i thought, as i stood there alone
so i dropped in the grave the little locket he gave
to me, for the mother he loved
though they’re buried apart, i know in my heart
they’re together in heaven above
