Where were you when the train left town?I'se standing on the corner with my head hung down. Hey that train, carried my girl from town, Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay.I wish to the Lord that train would wreck, Kill the engineer and break the fireman's neck. Hey that train, carried my girl from town, Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. Rations on the table, coffee's gettin' cold, Some dirty rounder stole my jelly roll. Hey that train, carried my girl from town, Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. 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-yay, yea, hey-yay. Ah, she's rollin' on down the line now,(spoken) Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, Lord show me a woman that a man can trust. Hey that train, carried my girl from town, Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. Enough to make a man lonely. Oh yeah! This is the way she sounded when she went outta hearin'. (spoken)
