Bill Martin

(Jody Stecher and Bill Martin)

Oh, I’m going to the station, gonna catch me an East bound train

Oh, I’m going to the station, gonna catch me an East bound train

If the blues overtake me, I might not be back again

If the blues overtake me, I’ll find me a faster track

If the blues overtake me, I’ll find me a faster track

It runs by the river, it may never bring me back

Oh, I’m going to the river, gonna take my rocking chair

Oh, I’m going to the river, gonna take my rocking chair

If the blues overtake me, rock away from there

It’s a long way from Richmond, to far Far Rockaway

It’s a long way from Richmond, to far Far Rockaway

On a long long island, by the side of a little bay

If your house catches fire and there ain’t no water ‘round

If your house catches fire and there ain’t no water ‘round

Throw your mandocello out the window, let the shack burn down

If your mando catches fire and there ain’t no water ‘round

If your banjo catches fire and there ain’t no water ‘round

Take the fast track to Richmond, let the doggone tune burn down
