A woman dropped her baby in the locks of an iron horse 27 years ago
Am C G Am
No one heard her screams no one heard her cries no one even needed to know
Am C G
She dove down to save that child neither one mead it out alive
Am C G Am
Now once a year at the stroke of 12 you can hear the screams and cries
Am C G Am
Me and a couple buddies of mine were playin gon the railroad tracks
Am C G Am
Shooting old beer cans with a red ryder knowing we'ed make it back
Am C G Am
We sat down to take a short break and i found an empty bottle of wine
Am C G Am
Then we heard a sound like a chill to the bone it was that womans cries
