Ballad In Low E - Willie P. Bennett

    I feel like a conductor
    who just missed his train
    Like a rain maker
    who cannot make rain
    And every time I come around
    You tell me I'm insane
    But you still let me in
    Again and again

    Like a riverboat gambler
    who just played his last hand
    The businessmen got angry
    and they all took a stand
    He had to jump into the river
    But he made it to land
    And with the posse looking for him
    You let him in just the same

    'Cause you take the pain
    Out of every wound
    You understand
    You make me light
    When I feel blue
    And just for second measure
    You tell me that you love me too
    Kind of make me want to hang
    Up my gambling game

    I feel like a pirate ship captain
    Whose men have all jumped ship
    You can't sail a boat
    If she won't float
    Not even on no treasure trip
    But they knew me well
    I didn't have to tell them
    My only treasure was you
    And so they all went home
    And they knew I had no need to roam

    Cause you take the pain
    Out of every wound
    You understand
    You make me light
    When I feel blue
    And just for second measure
    You tell me that you love me too
    Kind of make me want to hang
    Up my gambling name
