Walk on, little Charlie
Walk on through the snow
Headin' down the railway line
Trying to get home
And he's made it forty miles
Six hundred left to go
It's a long old lonesome journey
Shufflin' through the snow
He's a-lonesome and he's a-hungry
It's been a time since last he's ate
And as the night grows colder
He wonders of his fate
For his legs are wracked with pain
As he staggers through the night
As he sees through his troubled eyes
His hands are turning white
Lonely as a single star
In the skies above
His father in a mining camp
His mother in the ground
And he's looking for his dad
And he's looking out for love
Just a lost little boy by the railroad tracks
Headin' homeward bound
Is that the great Wendigo
Come to look upon my face?
And are the stars exploding
Down the misty aisle of space
Who's that coming down the tracks
Walking up to me?
Her arms outstretched and waiting
Waiting just for me
Walk on, little Charlie
Walk on through the snow
Movin' down the railway line
Trying to make it home
And he's made it forty miles
Six hundred left to go
It's a long old lonesome journey
Shufflin' through the snow
