With a Memory Like Mine (Live)

I can see that train a' comin' Watch that big light shine this way Hear that whistle softly blowin' Lord, it's been an awful day. I watched him leave that Friday mornin' It was in the month of May I told my son to be a good soldier But return again someday He was returned just one year later But I'll not forget that day A baggage car is where he travelled In a casket where he lay Train man, keep your whistle blowin' Make it moan and make it whine It can make a man feel mighty lonesome With a memory like mine In that little country graveyard On a dark and dreary day They placed a flag upon the casket And the casket in the grave I couldn't stand it any longer And I knew not how to pray I cried "Oh lord, I cannot leave him All alone beneath that clay" Train man, keep your whistle blowin' Make it moan and make it whine You can make a man feel mighty lonesome With a memory like mine (Just like mine) I can see him as a baby I can hear him call my name I can feel him under fire And see him risin' from the flames Lord, if I could I would trade places I would gladly give my all I'd wrap that flag round me like a blanket And listen for the clouds to fall Train man, keep your whistle blowin' Make it moan and make it whine You can make a man feel mighty lonesome With a memory like mine Train man, keep your whistle blowin' Make it moan and make it whine You can make a man feel mighty lonesome With a memory like mine
