Me And My Guitar-TK 4 GREENLIGHT ON THE SOUTHERN G Standing on the side track D G At the south end of town On a dry, hot, dusty August day D The steam pipe blowing down G The fireman with his long oil can D G Oiling the old valve gears D G Waitin' for the fast mail train to Simmefore to clear The engineer in the old high cab, his gold watch in his hand Lookin' at the water glass and lettin' down the sand Rollin' out on the old main line and taking up the slack Gone today, so they say, but tomorrow he'll be back Chorus G D G Oh, if I could return C D To those boyhood days of mine G And that greenlight on the Southern D G Southern Railroad Line Creeping down the rusty rails of the weed-grown branch line The section houses, grey and white by the yard limit sign The hoggers call, the old high-ball, no more time to wait Rollin' down to Birmingham with a ten car load of freight Repeat Chorus The whistle screamed with a hiss of steam, the headlight gleams clear The drivers roll on the green and gold, gettin' mighty near Handing out the orders to the engine crew on time It's the Alabama Great Southern, AGS Railroad Line Repeat Chorus Twice My Disclaimer: I realize that Tony Rice wrote few songs himself; so if these songs are repeats of other artists, sorry about that. Just puttin em out since I got em.
