He was working on the railroad
In a stardy tough guys world
And that night he was the watchman
When an awful sound he heard
He really must felt where it came from
He saw two men they had a fight
When he tried to separate them
A shot rang through the night
My man, only one shot took my man away
My man, life will never be the same
We were so much in love
My man, only one shot took my man away
My life, it will never be the same
He was working for the future cause we'd marry very soon
People say now he was a hero, they have his picture in the room
A lot of money I got offered from the railroad company
But how could I ever spend it while I wanted a family?
