Picture On The Wall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yes, you know your picture done faded now, baby, darling, you left hanging up on the wall
Yes, you know your picture done faded now, baby, darling, you lea hanging up on the wall
Yes you know it done faded so now, baby, I can't see your face at all
Still, that old clock is ticking, baby, you left hanging on the side
Yes, you know that clock's still ticking, baby, you left hanging on the side
Yes, you know it put my mind on to wondering, make me want to catch some freight train and ride
Yes I would have done caught me a freight train, but there is nary a one going my way
Yes I would have done caught me a freight train, nary a one is going my way
Yes, but if I don't see you pretty soon, I hope I'll meet you some old rainy day
