This Train

[Chorus]
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers, no crap shooters or midnight ramblers
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train

[Verse 1]
Well I was on that train, at five o' two, headin' for Moville
I had a couple of decks in my pocket, just to make the price of a meal
Well I threw 'em on the blanket and they started doing tricks
I was on that train at five o' two, they threw me off at five o' six

[Chorus]
Well, this train don't carry no gamblers, this train (This train)
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train (This train)
This train don't carry no gamblers, no crap shooters or midnight ramblers
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train (This train)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Well, I was on my way to the Missisip when a gal got on the train
I sat right down beside her and she started to complain
The conductor caught the action, it was somewhere near St
Joe's
I was on my way from Mass to Miss, but They threw me off in MO

[Chorus]
Well, this train don't carry no gamblers, this train (This train)
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train (This train)
This train don't carry no gamblers, no crap shooters or midnight ramblers
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
When I encountered a gal on the Santa Fe, my trip came to an end
I said "Miss, on a lonely train like this, a guy could use a friend."
Again came the conductor, again I was cut off
He said "Pal I dunno why you got on, but I can tell you why you'll get off."

[Chorus]
Well, this train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers, no crap shooters or midnight ramblers
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train

[Instrumental/Outro]
