White Train

Standing at my doorway

I wondered why his hand was painted red

'It's just a scratch' he said

Here we go again

We stumbled to the car

By the time we hit Prince Henry's he was white

I said 'You look such a sight'

He said 'I don't feel no pain'

And I know just what to do

And I know it's nothing new

We've been through this before

And I must follow

Why must it be you (on a white train)?

I stuck until the end

Though you said I was no friend

But you were blind

I was much too kind

On a white train

Some will swill and some will sip

Some just find a place where they don't slip

Others take a kip

On a white train

And I know just what to do

And I know it's nothing new

We've been through this before

And still I follow

Why must it be you (on a white train)?
