Engineer, reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feelin' that's in me
The one I love has turned me down
There's sixteen cars behind each engine
I'll ride the last one to the end of the line
I don't know where I'm goin' or where I'll wind up
Just any place to ease my worried mind
Engineer, reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feelin' that's in me
The one I love has turned me down
I'm gonna catch me a freight train
Lord, I'm leavin' this lonesome town
The one I loved and gave my heart to
For someone else, she's turned me down
Engineer, reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feelin' that's in me
The one I love has turned me down
Engineer, reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feelin' that's in me
The one I love has turned me down
