Look a-yonder coming
Coming down that railroad track
I said, look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
Well, she loved me in the winter
Lord, I almost froze to death
She didn't even warm me
She's a fact of frozen lips
My baby hit the road a running
Looking for that long black train
That long black train
Lord, and I began to wonder
Will I see that girl again?
If I see my girl again
Well, I don't know why she left me
But I do know that she's gone
But look a-yonder coming, Lord
My baby's coming home
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
That long railroad track
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
Gonna bring my baby back
Well, ain't asking her no questions
Cause I don't care where she's been
And when I get that woman back
She'll never leave again
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
That long railroad track
Well, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
Gonna bring my baby back
Well, I can see her black smoke rolling
I can hear her whistle whine
She's just around the curve
She's moving fast that line on down
I said, now look a-yonder coming
Coming down that long railroad track
Lord, that long railroad track
Yes, it's that long black train
Gonna bring my baby back
Gonna bring my baby back
Long black train, Lord
Long black train, Lord
Long black train, Lord
