Time For Travelin' (Joe Ely) I came into Atlanta Dreamin' of Lorraine Came so tired of ridin' Cross the Savanna Plain Still feel the wheels a-rollin' Feel them just the same Steel wheels still a-rollin' On a long night train. She met me at the station Took me to her room Was a time of meeting Was a risin' moon. Angels set the table With candles and beer. Heard that midnight train moan Miles away from here. Instrumental Chorus Lay me down a pallet, Lay it soft and low. Lorraine lay beside me, Sad I had to go. Gypsy boy I traveled with Played his old guitar. We watched that candle flicker Like some low morning star But the time to part must always come Time the bells must ring. Time for lovers to say goodnight I'll see you in my dreams. Time to part must always come Time when trade-winds sing. Time to hit the road again Time for travelin'.
