Charleston railroad tavern
Set them up till I'm blind
She left on that 509
Eastern standard blue time
My baby left this evening
I'd changed all this if I could
But her train just pulled out of sight
I know she's gone for good
So Charleston railroad tavern
Set them up till I'm blind
She left on that 509
Eastern standard blue time
I stayed out so many nights
The crowd downtown was fun
But her love had turned to hate before
I knew the harm I'd done
Now the laughing tavern crowd is gone
I'm so lonesome I could die
The man just said it's closing time
Guess I'll go home and cry
So Charleston railroad tavern
Set them up till I'm blind
She left on that 509
Eastern standard blue time
