How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone

Mister engineerman, turn your train around

My baby's on there, and she's southern bound

How long has that evenin' train been gone?

She left me standing, throwing up my hands

Said she was going back to her other man

How long has that evenin' train been gone?

Now here I stand, all blue and sad

Thinkin' how much I loved her, ain't that too bad?

How long has that evenin' train been gone?

If I'd a-known she was gonna leave me that way

My poor broken heart wouldn't have to pay

How long has that evenin' train been gone?

Well, she's gone, there's nothin' for me to say

But maybe she will come back to me someday

How long has that evenin' train been gone?
