Reuben had a train and he road it down the line Road it to God knows where Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my Road it to God knows where
You should have been in town When old Reuben's train went down You could hear the whistle blow from miles around Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my You could hear the whistle blow from miles around
Reuben down and low He's got no place to go He's been running round them train tracks All his days Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my Been running round them train tracks All his days Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my
So he got himself a blade Laid old Reuben in the shade Said he's gonna start a graveyard of his own Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my He's gonna start a graveyard of his own
