Lyrics

Is that the moon I see
Over there in the West
Or just a headlight gleam
Seeing no express?
I know she's gone whatever I say
It won't be long
'Til I make up my mind and go away
Is that the sun coming up
On the eastern shore
Or just the coal bed glow
Behind the firebox door?
I know she's gone whatever I say
It won't be long
'Til I make up my mind and go away
Did you see that fool
He can't hear the whistle
A blind old man caught out on the trestle
He can't go up and he can't go back
Train kept coming brushed him off the track
Ah, the storms may blow
And the wind may rise
I long to go
Where the fast mail flies
I know she's gone whatever I say
It won't be long
'Til I make up my mind and go away
Did you see that fool
He can't hear the whistle
A blind old man caught out on the trestle
He can't go up and he can't go back
Train kept coming brushed him off the track
Ah, the storms may blow
And the wind may rise
I long to go
Where the fast mail flies
I know she's gone whatever I say
It won't be long
'Til I make up my mind and go
