Train Carried My Girl From Town

where were you when the train left town

I was standing on the corner, my head hanging down

I be crying hey, train carried my girl away

I be crying hey, that train carried my girl away from town

ashes to ashes and dust to dust

show me the woman that I can trust

I be crying hey, train carried my girl away

I be crying hey, that train carried my girl away from town

I wish to the lord that train would wreck

kill the engineer and break that fireman's neck

I wish to the lord that train would turn around

bring my girl back to this here town

I be crying hey, train carried my girl away

I be crying hey, that train carried my girl away from town

smoke-cloud rising, heading for the west

there goes the baby that I love the best

smoke-cloud falling down from the sky

oh my girl won't you tell me why

train carried my girl away from town

where were you when the train left town?
