Long Black Train

Here comes that long black train

Stopping at my door again

And that’s the same old train that stole my baby away

Engineer blows his whistle

As he passed through my hometown

Last time he passed through

He left me with my head hanging down

Well, he’s a mean old engineer

Got a heart like a piece of iron

He says i’m just a heartbreaker and you can’t ride

This train of mine

This train of mine

This train of mine

You can’t ride this train of mine

That train started off slowly

And tears began streaming down

I said lord lord why was i left in this god forsaken town

I watched that headlight shining as far as my eyes could see

I often wondered why

My baby never sent for me

Well he’s a mean old engineer

Got a heart like a piece of iron

He says i’m just a heartbreaker and you can’t ride

This train of mine

This train of mine

This train of mine

You can’t ride this train of mine
