I went down to the railway track where the guy got hit at three
He crushed his arm and smashed his leg and knocked out all his teeth
And now he's lying in a little white bed getting filled up with his needs
I can hear him moaning in his sleep he's moaning for his queen
And what a way to make a scene
He's down it for his queen
He only sees her when he dreams
He wants to stay asleep
I went down to the railway track where the guy got hit at three
I heard him calling for a lass he said "she was my queen"
I asked him who his queen was and he said "she was my wife"
I asked him where his wife was and he said "she sadly died"
I went down to the railway track where the guy got hit at three
He crushed his arm and smashed his leg and knocked out all his teeth
And now he's lying in a little white bed getting filled up with his needs
I can hear him moaning in his sleep he's moaning for his queen
And what a way to make a scene
He's down it for his queen
He only sees her when he dreams
He wants to stay asleep
So I asked him how he'd see his wife and he said "I do not know"
He said "if I went to heaven then I would see her for sure"
I asked him about religion and he said " I've never tried"
"But if there's a chance I can see my wife then I might as well just die"
When he left he was a different man I could see it in his eyes
He walked off into the distance like he was to claim a prize
I heard it on the news that day the man had truly gone
Wonder if he's with his wife now listening to this song
Welcome to heaven I hope you enjoy your stay
Yes the queue may look quite long but you've got eternity
Welcome to heaven paradise for all
It seems your good out ways your bad well done!
Now get in line
Where is my wife I want to know?
Please don't ignore me she is my world
What do you mean that she isn't here?
How is this heathen if she isn't here?
Paradise is lost now who's to blame?
Only I can fix this problem
Down I shall go to see my wife
But to get there I must defile
Cause I've nothing to lose
Nothing to gain
Sacred heathen
Isn't for me
Heathen it isn't for me I'm going
I'll be with my wife even if she's in hell
If she's in hell then it's better than here
It seems I took the wrong train
Oh lord I'll see her at the end of the line
