Mark Knopfler "Marbletown" lyrics

Marbletown

Roll out here, mister,If you need a little rest.Roll out here, mister,If you need a little rest.Lay me down in Marbletown,A bone yard is the best.

There was a bad bull on the railroadTried to put me off its train.There was a bad bull on the railroadTried to put me off its train.Lay me down in Marbletown'Til the coast is clear again.

I can hear them a-hollerin':'We got a man down hereWe got a man down''We got a man down hereWe got a man down'

I'm gonna flip me a cannonball,That won't stop for anyone.Flip me a cannonball,That won't stop for anyone.Lay me down in MarbletownWait 'til morning comes.

I'm gonna roll out here in the tombstones,Wait here on my train.Roll out here in the tombstones,Wait here on my train.Lay me down in MarbletownI hope that it don't rain.

And I can still hear them hollerin':'We got a man down here,We got a man down''We got a man down here,We got a man down'

Roll out here, mister,If you need a little rest.Roll out here, mister,If you need a little rest.Lay me down in MarbletownA bone yard is the best.
