Train Song Lyrics - The Hard Truth

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
