Ben Traverse - Old Time American Music

Train on the Island

Train on the island
Headed for the west
Run and tell my true love
The girl I love the best
Run and tell my true love
The girl I love the best

Run and tell my true love
The girl I love the best
Run and tell my true love
The girl I love the best

Train on the island
Thought I heard it blow
Run and find my true love
For she don't ride no more
Run and find my true love
For she don't ride no more

Run and find my true love
For she don't ride no more
Run and find my true love
For she don't ride no more

Train on the island
Thought I heard her squeal
Run and tell my true love
That I can't hold the wheel
Run and tell my true love
That I can't hold the wheel

Run and tell my true love
That I can't hold the wheel
Run and tell my true love
That I can't hold the wheel

Train on the island
Headed for the north
Run and tell my true love
She don't know what she's worth
Run and tell my true love
She don't know what she's worth

Run and tell my true love
She don't know what she's worth
Run and tell my true love
She don't know what she's worth
