Carla Bley

Charleston Railroad Tavern
Sitting up till I'm blind
She left on that 5-0-9
Eastern standard blue time

My baby left this evening
I'd changed all this if I could
But her train just pulled out of sight
I know she's gone for good

I stayed out so many nights
The crowd downtown was fun
But her love had turned to hate before
I knew the harm I'd done

Now the laughing tavern crowd is gone
I'm so lonesome I could die
The man just said it's closing time
Guess I'll go home and cry
