Well, where were you
When the train left town?
I was standing on the corner
With my head hung down
If I had my gun
I'd let the hammer down
I'd shoot that rounder
Who took my girl from town
Hey, the train
That carried her away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, that train
That carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, train
Well, there goes the train
That carried my girl from town
If I knew her number, boys
I'd flag her down
I wish to the Lord
That that train would wreck
Kill the engineer
And break the fireman's neck
Hey, hey, train
That carried her away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, that train
That carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Well, the rations on the table
And the coffee's getting cold
Some dirty rounder
Done stole my jelly roll
Hello, central
Give me number nine
I gotta talk to that baby of mine
Hey, that train
That carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, train
Oh, hey, that train
That carried her from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, that train
That carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
