Train That Carried My Girl from Town
Where were you when the train left town
I's standing on the corner with my 5 head hung 1 down
Chorus
Hey that 5 train, done 1 carried my girl from town
Hey-yee 5 hey hey 1 hey
There goes the train that carried my girl from town
If I knowed her number I'd go 5 flag her 1 down
If I had a gun I'd let the hammer down
Lord I'd shoot that rounder took my girl from town
I wish to the Lord that the train would wreck
Kill the engineer and break the fireman's neck
Rations on the table, coffee's gettin' cold
Some dirty rounder stole my jellyroll
There goes my girl, somebody bring her back
'Cause she's got her hand in my money sack
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Lord show me a woman that a man can trust
