Tie Her To The Tracks

- Ray Denning

She was my true love, I gave her my heart.
I built a love for the two of us, now it's falling apart.
She said she loved me and she'd always be true
now she's left me all alone and blue.
That devil woman played games with my heart and soul
but when she shook my bones up she took a risky roll.
Our love was young once but it grew too old.
I lost her true love and my blood ran cold.
She was my one source of happiness and pride
but when that girl betrayed me, something inside of me died.
Though these chains hang heavy on this heart of mine,
tonight I'll be smiling when that whistle whines.
All the passion that made our love so great
burns just as strong now in my heart as hate.
Now the sun is setting on our dying love
I hope, girl you were truer to God above.
She'll regret the day she stuck that knife in my back
when her blood stains 20 miles of track.
I'm gonna tie her to the tracks - and wait for that black train.
I'm gonna tie her to the tracks - and teach her to know my pain.
I'm gonna tie her to the tracks - and one last tear for her I'll cry.
I'm gonna tie her to the tracks - and I'm gonna watch her die.
