Marlborough Street Blues

Ian Tyson

[Verse 1]
Well, a freight train come by here, it's 23 boxcar long
Freight train roll by here, 'twas 23 boxcar long
Sometime late last night, should be on a train and gone
Lord, Lord, Lord, I don't know one woman in this town
Oh, I don't know one woman in this town

[Verse 2]
There's plenty of jobs around, but it's only cleanin' cars
Plenty of jobs around, but it's only washin' cars
Forty-two a week, you roll your own, don't make the bars
Lord, Lord, Lord, I don't know one woman in this town
Oh, I don't know one woman in this town

[Chorus]
There's a crack under the door
And the snow drifts through inside
But no letters and no money
From all the friends outside

[Verse 3]
Oh, when you're with a girl, freight train don't sound so bad
When you're with a girl, freight train don't sound so bad
But when you're all alone, oh the blues get low and sad
Lord, Lord, Lord, I don't know one woman in this town
Oh, I don't know one woman in this town

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
There's a crack under the door
And the snow drifts through inside
But no letters and no money
From all the friends outside

Oh, when you're with a girl, freight train don't sound so bad
When you're with a girl, freight train don't sound so bad
When you're all alone, oh the blues get low and sad
Lord, Lord, Lord, I don't know one woman in this town
Oh, I don't know one woman in this town

[Outro]
Oh, I don't know one woman in this town
Oh, I don't know one woman in this town
Oh, I don't know one woman in this town
