Poor Tom

[00:14.37] Here's a tale of Tom

[00:16.38] Who worked the railroads long

[00:18.64] His wife would cook his meal

[00:20.89] As he would change the wheel

[00:23.15] Poor Tom, seventh son,

[00:25.65] Always knew what's goin' on

[00:27.65] Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

[00:32.17] There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

[00:41.69] Worked for thirty years

[00:43.94] Sharing hopes and fears

[00:46.20] Dreamin' of the day

[00:48.45] He could turn and say

[00:50.71] Poor Tom, work's done,

[00:52.97] Been lazin' out in the noonday sun

[00:59.73] Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

[01:04.25] Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

[01:13.26] His wife was Annie Mae

[01:15.29] With any man a game she'd play

[01:17.79] When Tom was out of town

[01:19.79] She couldn't keep her dress down

[01:22.55] Poor Tom, seventh son,

[01:24.56] Always knew what's goin' on

[01:31.58] Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

[01:35.84] Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

[01:45.11] And so it was one day

[01:47.36] People got to Annie Mae

[01:49.62] Tom stood, a gun in his hand

[01:51.87] And stopped her runnin' around

[01:54.13] Poor Tom, seventh son,

[01:56.39] Gotta die for what you've done

[02:03.16] All those years of work are thrown away

[02:07.67] To ease your mind is that all you can say?

[02:12.18] But what about that grandson on your knee?

[02:16.70] Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me

[02:26.47] Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

[02:30.73] And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

[02:35.25] And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

[02:39.51] And there ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom.

[02:43.77] Hey

[02:45.78] Keep-a truckin',

[02:47.79] Keep-a truckin'

[02:50.80] Yeah.
