Walt Songtext
von A.C. Cotton

There′s a lot of loose talk
Lots of pretty trash
Empty promises and threats
I'm an accidental citizen
But this breathing
Can′t be much good for my health

Hold on to the rail
I'll raise it

I got a brother
He's an idiot
He′s always cursing my name
Well they tell me that he glows in the dark
I′ve never even seen him
But he still knows my face


Hold on to the rail
I'll raise it

′Cause even though it takes all my time

My father drove out on the icy road
My mother drowned at sea
All of my children
They ran off into the world
Flying all about in a teary

Hold on to the rail
I'll raise it
′Cause even though it takes all my time

Hold on to the rail
I'll raise it
Raise me up from the grave
Even though it takes all my time
