Blackie And The Rodeo Kings - Jackie Washington Lyrics

Send "Jackie Washington" ringtone to your cell

Jackie washington rode the rails

Way back in world war ii

Playing his guitar in the sleeper car

To lullaby the lucky few

He worked the canadian pacific line

To satisfy his wandering bones

There weren?t a lot of men that he couldn?t call friend

Or places that he couldn?t call home good lord

Places that he couldn?t call home

Saying "mr. conductor put the hammer down

I?m not gonna rest ?til i reach hammer town

I got a girl on the east side and there?s a band on the west side

Playing blues and sentimental"

He never crossed over that american border

Though he lived just a few miles away

He said "everything i need i can find right here

North of the usa"

Guitar and piano and a thousand tunes

And his brothers just playing all night

Singing every song from the hit parade

And swinging by the steel mill light good lord

Swinging by the steel mill light

Saying "mr. conductor put the hammer down

I?m not gonna rest ?til i reach hammer town

I got a girl on the east side and there?s a band on the west side

Playing blues and sentimental"

Jackie washington takes the stage

The same way that he?s always been

Lighting up the aisles with a heavenly smile

And bringing everybody in

Jackie made '80 back in ?99

Still he plays every show that he can

And there?s a midnight train rolling somewhere tonight

And jackie?s strumming like a steel-driving man good lord

Strumming like a steel-driving man

Saying "mr. conductor put the hammer down

I?m not gonna rest ?til i reach hammer town

I got a girl on the east side and there?s a band on the west side

Playing blues and sentimental"

Hey jackie washington

Long may your sweet song carry on

Everybody on the east side and everybody on the west side

Everybody on the east side and everybody on the west side

Loves the blues and sentimental
