A lonesome whistle sails through the pines
And finds me crying on my pillow
I wipe the tears and raise up my head
I hear a forest call up low
Listen yonder comes a train
Mama, is that the one he's on
The only thing that keeps me goin' is
Knowin' he's coming back home
And yonder comes a train
I broke his heart and he got on a train
And told me come back anytime
Hope that I must have heard that old lonesome whistle
At least ten thousand times
Listen yonder comes a train
Mama, is that the one he's on
The only thing that keeps me goin' is
Knowin' he's coming back home
And yonder comes a train
