Pocket Knife String Band - Rail Yard

I stayed up all night till the sun came in
Playin cards and throwin darts with the railroad men
My clothes are torn my shoes are gone
No idea where I've been
And the same damn song keeps on running through my head
I went back to that rail yard to maybe find my mind
The foreman grinned with a face of sin and said I was right on time
They locked me up and stripped me down and threw away the key
All the while I'm tryna think of where my mind could be
Then I heard that song that my ears could not resist
Thinkin bout the night I had and this was surely it
My eyes rolled back into my head and I began to spin
A circle and a pentagram now he will rise again
Railyard
The devil took my mind and he dragged me down to hell
When I came too my skin was blue and flies around my head
The devil wore a pendant of my teeth around his neck
He said he had a game to play and that I was the pawn
I had to find my mind in hell before the break of dawn
I panicked and I scrambled to wake up from this dream
And prayed to god to see if it was too late to redeem
The devil laughed and shook his head he knew my fate was sealed
I took off through the walls of hell to try and end this deal
Railyard
The devil took my mind and he dragged me down to hell
The devil sewed my eyes shut and darkness went through me
Before I saw my mind underneath that willow tree
Now I roam hell alone never to be free
The break of dawn has come and gone but I still beg and plea
The foreman still cries out to me to play some five cards hands
But I will never walk that yard or see that light again
So if you're ever playing cards till the break of dawn
Watch out for the devil at that old railroad yard
Railyard
The devil took my mind and he dragged me down to hell
