Train Song

Train Song

Freight train, freight train, movin' so fast
You're the ghost of Cannonball 193
Well, I never caused you nothing, so can you do me this one something
Won't you bring my baby home to me

Freight train, freight train, it's the middle of the night
Is that your lonely wail under the moon
Well, the trees are busy sleeping, but I can hear your whistle weep
Keep callin' out, 'cause you know I'm crying, too

Whoa, where did she go?
Did she hop a ride to nowhere on your last red car
Whoa, she left me all alone
Now I'm staring at this wall all by myself

Freight train, freight train, have you seen her honey hair
And her faroff eyes, the color of the sea
Well, I miss my mischief Mrs., and I miss her pretty kisses
Won't you bring my baby home to me

Freight train, where did you go?
Are you traveling without me underneath the stars
Freight train, don't leave me alone
'Cause you know I hate to cry all by myself

Freight train, freight train, you're the devil in disguise
Selling dreams a dime a dozen, don't you see
But I'm a hobo bearing nothing, and a boxcar short of heaven
So won't you bring my baby home to me

Freight train, where did you go?
Is she sleeping in your shadows underneath the stars
Freight train, don't leave me alone
'Cause you know I hate to cry all by myself

Freight train, freight train, you're the devil in disguise
Selling tears a dime a dozen, don't you see
But I'm a hobo bearing nothing, and a boxcar short of heaven
So won't you bring my baby home to me

But I'm a hobo bearing nothing, and a boxcar short of heaven
So won't you bring my baby home to me
Won't you bring my baby home to me
Won't you bring my baby home to me
