Wrong Side (of The Tracks) Lyrics - Wilburn Brothers

They used to let me play with her awhile this rich man's daughter with a pretty smile 

But I was just a poor man's ragged child and living on the wrong side of the tracks 

And social walls are hard to rise above the wrong side of the tracks can kill true love 

There's many who must know what I speak of 

If they come from the wrong side of the tracks 

[ fiddle ] 

As time went by I grew to love her so we'd slipp away so her folks wouldn't know 

And with each kiss our love just seemed to grow 

Though I came from the wrong side of the tracks 

True love made different worlds into the same 

It knows no boundary's made by sicial name 

But still her parents gave me all the blame cause I live on the wrong side of the tracks 

[ steel ] 

I guess they had a plan right from the start 

They vowed somehow they'd keep we two apart 

They moved her far away and took my heart 

And left me on the wrong side of the tracks 

Yeah I recieved her letter yesterday she tells me just to wait there'll be a way 

But will they kill her love by things they say 

And leave me on the wrong side of the tracks
