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'...
