I was just a rail-riding man
well I was just a rail-riding man
Long before she took me in

Well she patched all my bullet holes.
She patched all my bullet holes
And she sewed my torn up clothes

She said hard times, they last too long
She said hard times, they last too long
Played me the shortest sweetest songs

She stands by the garden walls
Yeah my baby stands by the garden walls .
She's my little darlin' she's my angel doll.

She said hard times, they last too long
She said hard times, they last too long
Played me the shortest sweetest song

Well dollar, is coarse and cold.
Yeah greenback dollar, is coarse and cold.
Oh not my baby, she's as good as gold.

She says hard times, they last too long
She said hard times, they last too long
Played me the shortest, sweetest song

She said hard times, they last too long.
My baby said hard times, they last too long.
Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs.
Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs.
Play me the shortest, sweetest, songs.
Beautiful
