American Old Time Song Lyrics: 16 The Railway Guide
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 16
THE RAILWAY GUIDE.
While traveling through the State last week
I met a pretty girl,
With dark blue eyes and rosy cheeks.
And hair in waving carls;
In her eyes she had the look
Which sorrow there was showing -
Oh, please, sir, lend to me your book.
I don't know where I am going.
Chorus.
St. Louis and Lynchburg, San Francisco,
Watsonville and Maryville, Motora, Sanloza, Stockton, too, beside, oh!
Santa Rosa, Marapoza, San Lorenzo, Sacramento.
These were the towns I mentioned in my railway guide.
Burlington, Washington, Buffalo and Chicago,
Montreal and St. Paul, New York, too, beside, oh'.
Portland, Maine, and Fort Wayne, Louisville and Brooklyn,
These were the towns I mentioned in my railway guide.
When we landed at the depot
And was going for the door,
She says: Kind sir, don't go yet,
I may never see you more;
Besides, I don't know where's my home-
How bitterly she cried-
Dow could you leave me all alone
Without your railway guide.- Chorus.
