Marbletown lyrics

Roll out here, mister,

If you need a little rest.

Roll out here, mister,

If you need a little rest.

Lay me down in Marbletown,

A bone yard is the best.

There was a bad bull on the railroad

Tried to put me off its train.

There was a bad bull on the railroad

Tried to put me off its train.

Lay me down in Marbletown

'Til the coast is clear again.

I can hear them a-hollerin':

'We got a man down here

We got a man down'

'We got a man down here

We got a man down'

I'm gonna flip me a cannonball,

That won't stop for anyone.

Flip me a cannonball,

That won't stop for anyone.

Lay me down in Marbletown

Wait 'til morning comes.

I'm gonna roll out here in the tombstones,

Wait here on my train.

Roll out here in the tombstones,

Wait here on my train.

Lay me down in Marbletown

I hope that it don't rain.

And I can still hear them hollerin':

'We got a man down here,

We got a man down'

'We got a man down here,

We got a man down'

Roll out here, mister,

If you need a little rest.

Roll out here, mister,

If you need a little rest.

Lay me down in Marbletown

A bone yard is the best.
