Railroad Penny

''RAILROAD PENNY" It was on a June night Only one railcar in sight And a lady that was in such pain, But she would survive Long enough to lay eyes On her baby girl born in the rain... And as the angels looked down The Hobo's gathered 'round The miracle lay on her mothers' breast, And loyal to the end They took the baby in And layed her Sweet Mama to rest.... (Chorus) With Auburn hair that shines like a new penny She's loved by many And held by loving arms, Like boxcars full of mail That cling to the rails She is safe from any harm..... Now she rides the rail From the stories they tell And the miles, well, they've been plenty, But she's not that old Born to the Hobos And her name is 'Railroad Penny'.... But life on the rail Can sometimes be Hell For those who once had plenty, But for her it was home And she was never alone The girl they called 'Railroad Penny'... (Chorus) ‘A little tale from the rail, for all that share blood , from where the iron meets the iron’
