There was mornin' train used to come on through

When this sleepy town was alive

And ever' Sunday we would come and see

Some mighty fancy people arrive

Oh, they'd arrive aboard the milk train

There was a well dressed lady from the city

Used to always give me her smile

And she looked so fine, she was sweet and kind

She let me get to know her awhile, oh, for a little while

Oh, when the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't come by here any more

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Now I still live in that rail-road shack

And I wander down that dusty old track

Like a lonely old-timer out of my mind

Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me

When the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't stop by here any more

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Now the only thing to come on through

Is a Jimmy-John now and then

And I dream of the day she'll come back this way

And let me get to know her again

Oh, like way back when

When the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Oh, the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't come here any more

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
