Well, that train is leavin', and my baby got to go
Well, that train is leavin', and my baby got to go
Well, her mother is sick, and her daddy's buried low
Well, i watched that train, till it went around the bend
Well, i watched that train, till it went around the bend
Well, i said i would never, see my baby's face again
Well, that old dirty fireman, and that old cruel engineer
Well, that old dirty fireman, and that old cruel engineer
That old dirty conductor, waved that train away from here
Every time i hear that whistle, lord, i just can't keep from cryin'
Every time i hear that whistle, lord, i just can't keep from cryin'
Well, that ol' dirty train, got that ol' gal i call mine
If i could holler, just 'a like a mountain jack
If i could holler, just 'a like a mountain jack
I'd go way up on that mountain, call my lovin' baby back
Wanna call her back, wanna call her back
Wanna call her back, wanna call her back
