The Old Train's 
been gone 
long time,

Ain't heard that 
whistle blow,

as it pass 
the depot -

And,

Ain't seen't 
no 
bellowing smoke -

It's lonesome 
here

in 
this Town

since  
old iron wheels 
Ain't 
been around -

The Old Train's
been gone
long time-

Andrea, you are a woman after my own heart, I'm from a small "old" town where trains once ruled, I miss those days back in my old town. Thank you my friend for your wonderful thoughts. Ken
