Slow Train

There's a slow train comin' It's movin' on down the line Steel wheels on iron rails Tonight I'm fixin' to die Whoo, I hope you don't mind, pretty mama Whoo, hope you don't mind if I go 'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises I ain't gonna see you anymore There's a slow train comin' Comin' right on time Smokestacks and bottle lightning This jumper on the line Whoo, I can't do without it anymore, pretty mama Yes, I can't do it without it anymore 'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises I ain't gonna see you anymore There's a slow train comin' To march us home from war With my leather boots and my haversack Sure can't take it no more Whoo, I cried for her baby when I saw you there Whoo, I cried for her just the same 'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises I'm gonna cry for you just the same Well, there's a slow train comin' Carryin' the mighty worker hordes Eighteen days in the cotton field Enough to put a man out of coup d'amour Whoo, it's time to move on, pretty mama Whoo, yes, it's time to move on as I go As the steam from my slow train rises It's time for me to get on board
