[Verse 1]
Well, I'm goin' on downtown
To catch that southbound train
Lord, I'm goin' on downtown
To catch that southbound train
I'm heading southbound
'Cause things will never be the same
'Cause I'm moving on down
And now you're not to blame
[Verse 2]
Train's rollin' near
But baby's not in sight (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Train rollin' near
Now my baby's not in sight
I'm getting on this train
And into the black of night (yeah, yeah)
I've looked so hard
The kind no man can find [?]
[Verse 3]
Hear the whistle blow
That mournful sound
Don't ya' hear the whistle blow
That mournful sound (ye-yeah, yeah)
Train's gonna' take me far
From this old town
'Cause I didn't see nobody, Lord
Don't know where I'm bound (yeah, yeah, yeah)
