Lyrics Ernest Tubb

Ernest Tubb

When Ole Goin' Gets-A-Goin'

My hand holds a bottle of wine in Oklahoma

In a bar alongside the railroad tracks

I'm a waitin' for a train to Waksahatchie

And when ole gets a goin', ole goin', ain't comin' back

Well, she easy, gotta laugh it up or cry it down

When love goes wrong, there ain't no middle ground

My baby's started movin' on another track

And when ole gets a goin', ole goin', ain't comin' back

Of course I laugh the most when I'm drinkin'

'Cause when I'm sober, my future looks mighty black

And these old shoes are beggin' to scratch some gravel

And when ole gets a goin', ole goin', ain't comin' back

Well, she easy, gotta laugh it up

And when ole gets a goin', ole goin', ain't comin' back
