The Train That Carried The Girl From Town

Tennessee raised, Alybama bound
If my girl leaves me, I'm gonna move from town
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town

Hate that train, carried my girl from town
If I knowed her number, sure flag her down
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town

Where was you when that train left town?
Standin' on the corner, head a-hangin' down
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town

Spoken:Now the train's blowin', leavin' the depot with her

Wish to the Lord, train would wreck
Kill the engineer, break the fireman's neck
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town

Hello, Central, give me six-oh-nine
Want to talk to that brown of mine
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town

Spoken:Hear her hikin' right on down the pike

Rations on the table, coffee's gettin' cold
Some old rounder stole my jellyroll
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Show me that woman, man can trust
Hey, Lord, I hate that train (guitar finishes line) hey, hey

Want no grease mixed in my rice
Girl of mine took my appetite
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town

Spoken:Hear her hikin' right on down

There goes my girl, somebody call her back
She's got her hand in my money sack
Hey, Lord, I hate that train, carried my girl from town
