Luyện nghe bài hát The Great Nashville Railroad Disaster

By Bobby Braddock & Rafe
Dedication: To Billy Sherrill for having the courage to stand by me and my career even when everyone told him they'd never play my records because of my style. Thanks Radar!
ONE SULTRY SUMMER IN THE YEAR OF 1918
THREE HUNDRED MEN WITH SKIN
PULLED OUT OF STATION
HEADING OUT OF NASHVILLE FOR WESTERN
BOUND CAUSE UNCLE SAM CLOSED DOWN
THE FACTORY.

AT THAT VERY ON THE CHEATHAM COUNTY LINE
OLD NUMBER ONE FROM MEMPHIS
WAS RUNNING WAY
BACK IN THE CLUB CAR A MEMPHIS GAMBLING MAN
SAID GENTLEMAN, IM FOLDING THESE
CAUSE I DREW A DEAD HAND!

A YOUNG MAN IN A TRUCK OUT NEAR DUTCHMAN'S GRADE
SAID OH MY GOD TWO TRAINS ONE
THEN HE CLOSED HIS AND HE PRAYED
A SISTER FROM THE ORPHANS HOME A CROSS UPON HER CHEST
A ONE IRON BEAST WAS COMING FROM THE EAST
AND ANOTHER ONE WAS FROM THE WEST

THE BIRD FLEW FROM THE TREE TOPS AS THE IMPACT SHOOK THE
THE WHEELS AND THE GRINDING STEEL
COULD BE HEARD FOR AROUND

NOW EVERY JULY 9TH A FEW WEST OF TOWN
TO DAY SOME FOLKS SAY
YOU CAN THAT MOURNFUL SOUND
