One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary, hopin' that the train is on time Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line I sailed away a country mile And now I'm returnin' and showin' off my smile I met all the girls and I loved myself a few, and to my surprise Like everything else that I've been through, it opened up my eyes And now I'm... One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line Don't you know I'm just-a Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary, hopin' that the train is on time Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line Don't you know I'm just-a Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary, hopin' that the train is on time Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line I wanna be One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line Don't you know I'm just-a Waitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary, hopin' that the train is on time Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line One toke, one toke over the line ------ The sheet music for "One Toke Over The Line" includes this additional verse which isn't in the above-mentioned recording by Brewer & Shipley: I was born to give and take But as I keep growin' I'm gonna make some mistakes Sun is gonna set and the bird is gonna wing, they do not lie My last wish will be just one thing, I'm smilin' when I die |
