Steep Canyon Rangers
bluer words were never spoken
The last trainâs leaving
Blind Willieâs there
Playing the blues and going nowhere
He drinks too much
Couldâve been great
Itâs too late baby now itâs too late
CHORUS
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 donât go
I swear Iâll change
You say youâre sorry but Iâm too late
CHORUS
Rainâs beatinâ down
Everybodyâs gone
Willie still singing the same sad song
I say Willie give it a break
And he just says it wonât stop the rain
CHORUS
