lyrics

Where was you when the train left town?
I's standin on the corner with my head hung down.
I wish to the Lord that that train would wreck
kill the engineer and break the fireman's neck

Hey, the train done took my girl away.

There goes that train carried my girl from town
If I knew her number lord I'd flag her down
Hello Central give me 6-0-9
Good lord I wanna talk to that woman of mine

Hey, the train done took my girl away.

There goes my girl someone bring her back
That woman's got her hand down in my money sack.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
won't you show me the woman that a man can trust

Hey, the train done took my girl away.

Rations on the table, coffee's gettin' cold
and some dirty rounder's stole my jelly roll.
If I had a gun I'd let that hammer down
Lord, I'd shoot that rounder took my girl from town
