Lucy Kaplansky   Break A Train   written by Cliff Eberhardt
CI'm headed south Bmon a railroad train
FWe're pulling out on Ctime and I'm Gamazed
CGot my Cwindow seat  BmI got my magazines
FGot everything I Cneed except for Gyou
CRemember when we Bmtook that train out west
FThey almost threw us Coff for acting Gstrange
AmMade fools  of all the porters
We drank Fbooze out of paper Ccups
GYou showed me a good time baby
But I E7never  got Amenough
FYou showed me a good time Cdarling
But I Gnever got Cenough
And my Gheart feels just as  caloused
As Csome old breakmans hands
GBeen on the job for  years

CWere pulling in a station
BmI wish it was my stop
FI'll remeber next Ctime to  take the  Gplane
