Fallen off a Rock - Seasick Steve

Well, the ASEA moves to Memphis

On the Burlington Northern line

It moves so slow

You’d have to be deaf and blind

To have the train leave you behind

Kinda like

Fallen off a rock

Fallen off a rock

Fallen off a rock in train time

There’s a flophouse over on South Maine

Called the Frank James Hotel

They got some ugly women there to take you to heaven

A few gonna take you to hell

Kinda like

Fallen off a rock

Fallen off a rock

Fallen off a rock in train time

Catch out up to St. Louis

Maybe they’ll give me a job

Stay right there at the mission

Haven’t had a talk with God

Kinda like

Fallen off a rock

Fallen off a rock in train time

Well, the police have got my number

They had me for vagrancy

I went to their hotel down on Monroe

Felt their hospitality

Kinda like

Fallen off a rock

Maybe they’ll give me a job

Stay right there at the mission

Haven’t had a talk with God

Kinda like

Fallen off a rock

Crunching on the cinders, looking for an empty

Hmmm-hmmm

Drinking my red wine, checking the high line

Hmmm-hmmm

Kinda like

Fallen off a rock

Fallen off a rock

Fallen off a rock in train time

In freight train time

Please don’t let me die alone

Hey, freight train

Please, don’t let me die alone, oh, die alone

Oh take me home

It’s a freight train

Now, a freight train
