lyrics

Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and
Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and
Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and
Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down …

There’s an old man sittin’ all alone out by the track
It’s been a long time comin’ but his train ain’t comin’ back
He thinks he oughta told her sooner, but now there ain’t no time grieve
She’ll be home again by mornin’ ‘bout the time he gonna’ leave

Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and
Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and …

Now he’s rocketing out westward on an engine made of steel
He gotta get gone quick ‘cause otherwise he’ll start to feel
He thinks he shoulda left town sooner, but now there ain’t no time to think
He’ll hit Californ’ by mornin’ ‘bout the time he needs a drink

Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and
Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and …

It’s been fifteen hours done come and gone since the night he left her cold
But it seems more like fifteen years — goddamn the man got old!
He thinks he coulda done it better but now he ain’t got no more time
He’ll be on the floor by mornin’ ‘bout the time he gonna die

Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and
Blow, daddy blow! Blow that horn way down and …
