此曲美民二人Brewer & Shipley自自唱,收於其1970的《Tarkio》中,1971作曲行,在告示牌榜得第10名的佳,也是此二人歌唱生涯中成最好的歌曲。
一般不了解此曲歌的人,在歌曲一始即到sweet Jesus以及之後的railway station、sweet Mary等,很可能是一首於救的歌。其是一首於毒品、尤指大麻的歌曲。Toke的意思是用 ( 或斗 ) 吸大麻。於作此曲,Tom Shipley解道:我大麻有像是基督教的餐 ( sacrament ),若完整歌,可one toke只是一喻,的是於「度 ( excess )」,做任何事若「度」的,很可能害死你。
有些播台因涉及毒品而拒播放首歌,但不是每人都明白首歌的意思。1971,看是健康夫妻的Gail Farrell和Dick Dale在目「The Lawrence Welk Show」中演唱此曲,束毫幽默感的:你到的是Gail和Dale的代歌。
Gail & Dale
看Brewer & Shipley位老兄在生活中真的有「度」,至2020人偶而一起合作歌、演唱,迄今都已超80仍活得好好的。

One toke over the line, sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sitting downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hoping that the train is on time
Sitting downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Who do you love? I hope it's me
I've been changing, as you can plainly see
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain
That my momma said
If I should choose to make a part of me
Would surely strike me dead
And now I'm one toke over the line, sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sitting downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hoping that the train is on time
Sitting downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
I sail away a country mile
And now I'm returning and showing off my smile
I met all the girls and I loved myself a few
And to my surprise
Like everything else I've been through
It opened up my eyes
And now I'm one toke over the line, sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sitting downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don't you know I'm just waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hoping that the train is on time
Sitting downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don't you know I'm just waiting for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hoping that the train is on time
(Sitting downtown) Sitting in a railway station
One toke over the line
I want to be one toke over the line, sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
(Sitting downtown) Sitting in a ralway station
One toke over the line
Waiting for the train that goes home
Hoping that the train is on time
(Sitting downtown) Sitting in a railway station
One toke over the line
Sitting downtown in a railway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line
