Silver Ribbons lyrics
(Jim Robinson - Johnny Wilson - Vern Meroney)
Travelin' down this lonesome railroad Silver Ribbons with no ends A million miles a crossties Mark a million miles I've been. I've picked peaches down in Georgia Apples up in Maine Pulled cotton out in Texas Ridin' on the train. I was just a lad of seventeen My daddy turned me loose Silver ribbons callin' me Engine and caboose. I can't recall my mother She left when I was two Brunetts, blondes and red heads Were the only love I knew. Don't ask me where I'm going Don't ask me where I've been Those silver ribbons will take me there There and back again. One more time back again Travelin' to the tune of freight wheels Is such a lonely sound Hear that lonesome whistle blow As leavin' another town. I wish someone was waitin' Somewhere to welcome me Then those silver ribbons Would see no more of me. Don't ask me where I'm going Don't ask me where I've been Those silver ribbons will take me there There and back again...
