Trains Make Me Lonesome

i was 5 years old

When daddy started packing

And i stood there by my momma

As she cried

And the next thing that we knew

Some old train came passing through

And daddy got on board

And we ain't seen him no more



Chorus



I wonder why trains make me lonesome

It happens everytime that engine moans some

And when i hear that whistle blow

It makes my heart sink low

And i wonder why trains make me lonesome





It was a cold dark night

When i drove her to the depot

There were tears in my eyes

And a ticket in her hand

And as we stood there by those tracks

I knew she wasn't coming back

So i turned and walked away

But i still miss her today



Chorus



Those ink spots look engine no. 9

And this couch on which i lay

Suppose to haul my blues away

That old pipe you keep toking

Is like an old cold enging smoking



Chorus
