Cherry River Line

Lyrics as sung by Gerry And Jesse Milnes With Emily Miller
It's lonesome here, And it's lonesome all the time; Lonesome on that Cherry Cherry River Line. I got a gal in yonder's mountain Beneath the spreading pines I know that she loves me And she's always on my mind [Chorus] Where'd you get them shoes And the dress you wear so fine? I got them shoes from a railroad man And the dress from a driver in the mine [Chorus] Yonder stands a lulu girl With a wine glass in her hand She's drinkin' away her troubles And courtin' another man [Chorus]
