Train 45
Well that black smoke's a' rising, from that Train Forty Five
You can hear the whistle 5 blow a hundred 1 miles
Oh I'm going down the track, gonna bring my woman back
Well I'm tired of living this old way
If my woman says so, I'll railroad no more
I'll sock back my pay and go home
Well I'm going down the ties, with these tears in my eyes
Trying to read a letter from my home
If I die a railroad man you can bury me in the sand
So I can hear that train as she goes rollin' by
