Danville Girl Lyrics by Dock Boggs

Country Blues: Complete Early Recordings (1927-29)

0

I went down to Danville
Got struck on a Danville girl
You bet your life she's out of sight
She wears those Danville curls
She wears her hair on the back of her head
Like all high-toned people do
The very first train that leaves this town
Gonna bid that girl "adieu"
I don't see why I love that girl
For she never cared for me
But still my mind is on that girl
Wherever she may be
It's forty miles through the rock
It's sixty through the sand
For I relate to you the lifе
Of a many poor, married man
Was standing by the railroad track
While rеstin' my poor, tired feet
Nine hundred miles away from home
And not a bite to eat
He's walking about on the old platform
He's smoking [?] cheap cigar
He's waiting for a loco
To catch an empty car
I don't see why I love that girl
For she never cared for me
But still my mind is on that girl
Wherever she may be
Look up, look down this lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry
The best of friends have to part sometimes
Then why can't you and I?
