Traveling on that rail, leaving New Orleans
Traveling on that rail, goin' back to Barton Springs
Don't you blow that whistle, else you'll make me moan
Like that cold-rolled chisel, scratched my naked bone
Traveling on that rail, leaving New Orleans
Traveling on that rail, back to Barton Springs
Don't you blow that whistle, else you'll make me moan
Like that cold-rolled chisel, scratched my naked bone
Traveling on that rail, leaving New Orleans
Traveling on that rail, back to Barton Springs
Don't you blow that whistle, else you'll make me moan
Like that cold-rolled chisel, scratched my naked bone
Traveling on that rail, bound for New Orleans
Traveling on that rail, leaving Barton Springs
Won't you blow that whistle, I don't think I'll atone
For the gin that fizzle, and the, sweetly sung trombone

Have you been misled, by what you read at night
I know your daddy condemns it, like them many men do
But you ain't your daddy, and those many men are fools
You know, A dollar today, Ain't a dollar tomorrow
At the end of the day, you pass by those bills again
And that strike ain't happening, you played out your hand
I can't blame you for spending your last quarter
On a two-ounce bottle
When, A dollar today, Ain't a dollar tomorrow... hey, ya, ya
Your belly ain't been fed, before you turn out the lights
And you lay in that bed, praying better days come
Well I know you ain't happy with this world
All the pain and sorrow
Cause, A dollar today, Ain't a dollar tomorrow
Wake up from your reverie, it's time we take a stand
Take back your dignity, for the good of man
Well they know we ain't happy with this world,
That they force us to swallow
Join the Union today, For a better tomorrow
And when you go
You gonna need your friends
You gonna need everybody
To come marching in
And when you go
You gonna need your friends
You gonna need everybody
To come marching in

Happy Fool

How am I to tell if this is love
Is there a sign I ain't thinking of
Maybe I could tell you how I care
Maybe I won't know for another year
But if you lose your money, or find another man
Baby, I'll be there to be your friend
Well I'm proud to say I'm a happy fool
This ain't no game with a book of rules
I can't shape my life off another
When we're all shaded different colors
But if you need me quiet, I'll give you more time
Baby, you'll be always on my mind
We could move out to the country for a while
Grow our hair out long over our eyes
Run them dogs, and call them cattle in
And I will show my purpose... to you again
Well if I'm not lost than I'm afraid
I've come too far to change my ways
Said I'll make you laugh, and I'll make you cry
We'll both get busy living, before we die
And if you find a reason, to keep me around
Baby, I will never let you down
We could move out to the country for a while
Grow our hair out long over our eyes
Run them dogs, and call them cattle in
And I will show my purpose... to you again

Goin' Down to the River

Lord I'm goin' way down there
Honey don't you wanna go
You know I'm goin' somewhere baby
A place you ain't been before
Ya I'm goin' down to the river baby
Well I might sit on the ground
Ya I'm goin' down to the river baby
Well I might sit on the ground
I'll let the waves of the water, waves of the water
Baby wash my trouble down
Well I'm getting slow baby now
Hell I can't hardly rest at night
Ya I'm getting slow baby
You know I can't hardly rest at night
Well I know my baby, know my baby
She ain't treat me right
Lord I'm goin' to Louisiana
Well I believe I'll dust my broom
Hell I'm goin' to Louisiana baby
Well I'm goin' dust my broom
Cause lord these teeth they brown
My gums are worn down
And I scare off all the women I'm told
I'll let the waves of the water, waves of the water
Baby wash my trouble down

Room Beyond the Jordan

Somewhere in the dim light there is sunshine
And a room beyond the Jordan where he'll stay
Though I never met you in your lifetime
I can't help but walk your footsteps everyday
I've been down, I've way deep down in prison
And sometimes, sometimes that light is hard to find
Well I know there's no one up there to help me
Only them answers you left behind
Somewhere cross the river there is sunshine
And a room beyond the Jordan where he'll stay
Though I never met you in your lifetime
I can't help but walk your footsteps everyday
I've been down, I've way deep down in prison
And sometimes, sometimes that light is hard to find
Well I know there's no one up there to help me
Only them answers you left behind
I've walked through pastures and I've sought the heavens
But I can't understand my own place in time
Well I know there's no one up there to help me
That's gonna keep me from losing my mind
May we all go to heaven
May we all go to heaven
I said may we all go to heaven
I said may we all go to heaven

Earl Nelson Golden, Colorado
Earl Nelson & the Company have emerged to create a funky blend of Mississippi delta blues, motown soul, and bluegrass country. The band infuses blues banjo, jazz keys, funky basslines, and heavy percussion to back Earl's gritty vocals and slide guitar. With a large helping of gospel blues riffs and New Orleans piano solos, their live sound makes any spot a 1930's juke joint. ... more
