The Train That Carried My Gal From Town

One, two, three, four

There goes that train that carried my girl from town

If I knowed her number, Lord, I'd flag her down

I wish to the Lord that that train would wreck

'Til that engineer break the fireman's neck

Hey, the train that carried my girl from town

Hey, hey-hey-hey

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

Won't you show me a woman that a man can trust?

Hey, the train that carried my girl from town

Hey, hey-hey-hey

Where was you when the train left town?

I's standin' on the corner with my head hung down

If I had a gun, I'd let the hammer down

Lord, I'd shoot that rounder took my gal from town

Hey, the train that carried my girl from town

Hey, hey-hey-hey

Don't want no grease mixed in with my rice

That girl of mine took my appetite

There's rations on the table and the coffee's gettin' cold

And some dirty rounder stole my jelly roll

Hey, the train that carried my girl from town

Hey, hey-hey-hey

Tennessee raised, Alabama bound

If my girl leaves me, gonna move from town

Hello, central, give me 609

I wanna talk to that woman of mine

Hey, the train that carried my girl from town

Hey, hey-hey-hey

Hey, the train that carried my girl from town

Hey, hey-hey, hey
