Lyrics

Is that the moon I see over there in West
Or just the headlight's gleam, the C & O Express
I know you're gone, whatever I say
And it won't be long til I make up my mind and go away
Is that the sun coming up on the eastern seashore
Or just the coal fire glow on the firebox door
I know you're gone, whatever I say
And it won't be long til I make up my mind and go away
See that fool he can't hear the whistle
Blind old man caught out on the trestle
He can't go up and he can't go back
Train kept a-coming brushed him off the track
Other storms may blow and the wind may rise
But I long to go where the fast mail flies
I know you're gone, whatever I say
And it won't be long til I make up my mind
Til I make up my mind
Until I make up my mind and go away
