Good Ol' Wagon

from On Track by The Dublin City Rounders

/

lyrics

I was standing in a crap game doing no harm this mornin'.
When a copper grabbed me by my arm without a warnin'.
Took me down to the jailhouse door,
place I never had been before, I was run in.

No more will I buy my baby dem pork chops!
And hear her lily lips go flipidy-flop!
The reason I’m in trouble ’bout my sweet thing
Is because this song to me she did sing:
“Goodbye, my honey, if you call it gone, my darling!
Goodbye, my honey, if you call it gone, my baby!
There ain't no use for to weep and moan,
you’ve been a good old wagon but you done broke down, now bye-bye.”

The judge asked me what had I done this mornin'!
Said standing in a crap game getting my gun, hot stuff!
The judge and jury they said to me
“You done killed three rounders in the first degree and there's no bail.”

They loaded me aboard that sing-sing train,
weighed me down with dat ball and chain.
Now every station that I pass by
I imagine I can hear my baby cry

“Goodbye, my honey, if you call it gone, my darling!
Goodbye, my honey, if you call it gone, my baby!
There ain't no use for to weep and moan,
you’ve been a good old wagon but you done broke down, now bye-bye.”
