The 3.10 to Yuma

There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma

The pounding of the wheels is more like a mournful sigh

There's a legend and there's a rumor

When you take the 3.10 to Yuma

You can see the ghosts of outlaws go ridin' by (Ridin' by)

In the sky (In the sky), way up high

The buzzards keep circlin' the train

While below the cattle are thirstin' for rain

It's also true they say on the 3.10 to Yuma

A man may meet his fate

For fate travels ev'rywhere

Though you've got no reason to go there

And there ain't a soul that you know there

When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain

Take that train (Take that train)

Take that train

So when you take the train called the 3.10 to Yuma

And leave the things you love

You leave with a silent prayer (Silent prayer)

Though you've got no reason to go there

And there ain't a soul that you know there

When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain

Take that train

Take that train
