| Where was you when the train left town?
|
| I’s standin' on the corner with my head hung down
|
| Hey, the train carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| Spoken: That’s kinda the way she sounded when she’s rollin' away from the depot.
|
| If I had a gun I’d let the hammer down
|
| Lord, I’d shoot that rounder took my girl from town
|
| Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| There goes the train that carried my girl from town;
|
| If I knowed her number, Lord, I’d flag her down
|
| Hey, the train carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| Rations on the table and the coffee’s gettin' cold
|
| And some dirty rounder stole my jelly roll
|
| Hey, the train carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| Hello, Central, give me six-o-nine
|
| I want to talk to that woman of mine
|
| Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| I wish to the Lord that the train would wreck
|
| Kill that engineer and break the fireman’s neck
|
| Hey, that train done carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| SPOKEN: Rollin' on down the line…
|
| Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
|
| Show me the woman that a man can trust
|
| Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| There goes my girl, somebody bring her back
|
| 'Cause she’s got her hand in my money sack
|
| Hey, that train carried my girl from town
|
| Hey, hey, hey, hey
|
| SPOKEN: This is kinda way that train went when she went outa hearin'… |
