Lyrics
How long, how long, how long my train been gone?
How long, how long, how long my train been gone?
Been gone long enough to take you to your good gal home
Tell me why women in California, why ride so long to be?
Tell me why women in California, why ride so long to be?
Wild women and whiskey can make a fool out of me
They can lead me like a little idea only seven weeks off
They can lead me like a little idea that's only seven weeks off
They can lead me to the water, shake my head, no, no, no
The longest train I ever rode was seventy-nine coaches long
Longest train I ever rode was seventy-nine coaches long
But if the man hadn't seen me around the mountain I'd have been gone
I was on my way to California, why ride so long to be?
I was on my way to California, why ride so long to be?
Honey I'm from Missouri, you have to side me
