In The Middle Of The House Lyrics

The railroad comes through the middle of the house The railroad comes through the middle of the house The trains all come through the middle of the house Since the company bought the land. They let us live in the front of the house They let us live in the back But there ain't no living in the middle of the house 'Cause that's the railroad track. When a bill collector comes to the house He knocks and bangs on the door So we sit him right down in the middle of the house And he never comes back no more No, he never comes back no more. The railroad comes through the middle of the house The railroad comes through the middle of the house It comes and goes through the middle of the house And the trains are all on time And here comes the 5:09. The railroad comes through the middle of the house In and out of the middle of the house Right smack dab through the middle of the house Where the parlor used to be. There's a great big door in the front of the house A little old door in the back But we can't have doors in the middle of the house 'Cause that's the railroad track. No a relative came to visit the house He liked to scream and fuss So we sat him right down in the middle of the house And he never more bothered us No, he never more bothered us. Oh, the railroad comes through the middle of the house The railroad comes through the middle of the house It comes and goes through the middle of the house Since the company bought the land. I'm singing this song in the middle of the house.
