That Train That Carried My Girl From Town Lyrics - Singles - Watson Family

Where were you when the train left town? 

I'se standing on the corner with my head hung down. 

Hey that train, carried my girl from town, 

Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. 

I wish to the Lord that train would wreck, 

Kill the engineer and break the fireman's neck. 

Hey that train, carried my girl from town, 

Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. 

Rations on the table, coffee's gettin' cold, 

Some dirty rounder stole my jelly roll. 

Hey that train, carried my girl from town, 

Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. 

There goes my girl, somebody bring her back, 

'Cause she's got her hand in my money sack. 

Hey that train, carried my girl from town, 

Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. 

Ah, she's rollin' on down the line now, 

(spoken) 

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, 

Lord show me a woman that a man can trust. 

Hey that train, carried my girl from town, 

Hey-yay, yea, hey-yay. 

Enough to make a man lonely. Oh yeah! 

This is the way she sounded when she went outta hearin'. (spoken)
