Smoke Along The Track Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

One day the train was passin' I caught it crawlin' by 

To look this old world over under God's blue sky 

My darling stood there weeping as I was looking back 

I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track 

Goodbye so long until I come back home you'll be my dream 

Goodbye so long there's lots of places that I've never seen 

I'll always be a drifter but I'll be driftin' back 

To where I left you cryin' in the smoke along the track 

I like to keep on goin' it helps me when I'm blue 

I get the urge to travel that's all I want to do 

I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam 

And when I hear that whistle blow I've gotta move along 

Goodbye so long there's something down the track keeps calling me 

Goodbye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be 

So, when I get that feeling don't try to hold me back 

I'd only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track 

I know my baby loves me I love my baby too 

But she don't understand me when I'm feeling blue 

And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home and pack 

And leave my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track 

Goodbye so long I hate to leave you but I've gotta go 

Goodbye so long it's coming now just heard that whistle blow 

It'll be here in a minute you'll wave and I'll look back 

I'm gonna leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
