The Train That Carried My Girl from Town

Where was you when the train left town?
I's standin' on the corner with my head hung down
Hey, the train carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Spoken: That's kinda the way she sounded when she's rollin' away from the depot...

If I had a gun I'd let the hammer down
Lord, I'd shoot that rounder took my girl from town
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

There goes the train that carried my girl from town;
If I knowed her number, Lord, I'd flag her down
Hey, the train carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Rations on the table and the coffee's gettin' cold
And some dirty rounder stole my jelly roll
Hey, the train carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hello, Central, give me six-o-nine
I want to talk to that woman of mine
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I wish to the Lord that the train would wreck
Kill that engineer and break the fireman's neck
Hey, that train done carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

SPOKEN: Rollin' on down the line...

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Show me the woman that a man can trust
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

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, hey, hey, hey

SPOKEN: This is kinda way that train went when she went outa hearin'...
