Migrant Boxcar Train

If I should fall on the way down
If I should fall on the way down
If I should fall on the way down
Please don't leave me lyin' down on the ground
On the ground, on the ground
Please don't leave me lyin' on the ground
I knew a woman who had eyes as fierce as me
I knew a woman who had eyes as fierce as me
I knew a woman who had eyes as fierce as me
She asked about all the places I had been
Where I'd been, where I'd been
Well, she asked about all the places I had been
Did I know the man from Washington?
Did I know the man from Washington?
Oh, did I know the man from Washington?
Would I take a letter to him when I move on?
When I move on, when I move on
Would I take him a letter when I move on?
Well, she picked her way down where the river's at
Oh, she picked her way down where the river's at
She picked her way down where the river's at
God saw her through the trees, He washed her like a cat
Like a cat, like a cat
God saw her through the trees, He washed her like a cat
He washed her as she cried on the muddy bank
He washed her as she cried on the muddy bank
He washed her as she cried on the muddy bank
He cried in thunder, sobbed in pourin' rain
Pourin' rain, pourin' rain
He cried in thunder, sobbed in pourin' rain
She stepped in the river, pulled her body down
She stepped in the river, pulled her body down
She stepped in the river, pulled her body down
On along to midnight they pulled her body out
Body out, body out
Along to midnight they pulled her body out
I read a letter in a migrant boxcar train
I read a letter in a migrant boxcar train
I read a letter in a migrant boxcar train
Said, "Please, dear God, don't you let me love again"
Love again, love again
Said, "Please, dear God, don't you let me love again"
If I should fall on my way down
If I should fall on my way down
If I should fall on my way down
Please don't leave me lyin' down on the ground
