Bluer Words Were Never Spoken - Steep Canyon Rangers

The last train’s leaving

Blind Willie’s there

Playing the blues and going nowhere

He drinks too much

Could’ve been great

It’s too late baby now it’s too late

Bluer words were never spoken

Promises forever broken

Trains coming through

And the whistle cries for you

Bluer words were never spoken

You give Willie a brand new ten

You always saw the best in him

Baby please don’t go

I swear I’ll change

You say you’re sorry but I’m too late

Rain’s beatin' down

Everybody’s gone

Willie still singing the same sad song

I say Willie give it a break

And he just says it won’t stop the rain
