Freight Train Yodel
I'm standing here on the station
Waitin' around in the rain
And through your oaken window
You can hear that old freight train
That mournful sound's comin' nearer
You love another, I know
And in my dreams, each evenin'
I can that old train whistle blow
Hear that old train whistle blowin'
See her rollin' down the track
I don't know where I'm goin'
I only know I won't be back
Leavin' the past far behind me
Tryin' so hard not to cry
If the engineer don't see me
I'm gonna take her on the fly
Yes, it's too late now, my little darlin'
I'm never gonna see you again
And in another moment
I'll be on that old freight train
I've just gone and torn up your picture
There go the pieces, I'm glad
I wonder if you're smilin'
Or maybe, little darlin', you're sad
Hear that old train whistle blowin'
See her rollin' down the track
I don't know where I'm goin'
I only know I won't be back
Leavin' the past far behind me
I'm tryin' so hard not to cry
If the engineer don't see me
I'm gonna take her on the fly
Yes, it's too late now, my little darlin'
Now, I'm never gonna see you again
And through your oaken window
You can hear that old freight train
That mournful sound's comin' nearer
If only she'd run to the gate
And ask me to forgive her
Before it is too late
And hear that old train whistle blowin'
See her rollin' down the track
I don't know where I'm goin'
I only know I won't be back
Leavin' the past far behind me
Tryin' so hard not to cry
If the engineer don't see me
I'm gonna take her on the fly
Waitin' around in the rain
And through your oaken window
You can hear that old freight train
That mournful sound's comin' nearer
You love another, I know
And in my dreams, each evenin'
I can that old train whistle blow
Hear that old train whistle blowin'
See her rollin' down the track
I don't know where I'm goin'
I only know I won't be back
Leavin' the past far behind me
Tryin' so hard not to cry
If the engineer don't see me
I'm gonna take her on the fly
Yes, it's too late now, my little darlin'
I'm never gonna see you again
And in another moment
I'll be on that old freight train
I've just gone and torn up your picture
There go the pieces, I'm glad
I wonder if you're smilin'
Or maybe, little darlin', you're sad
Hear that old train whistle blowin'
See her rollin' down the track
I don't know where I'm goin'
I only know I won't be back
Leavin' the past far behind me
I'm tryin' so hard not to cry
If the engineer don't see me
I'm gonna take her on the fly
Yes, it's too late now, my little darlin'
Now, I'm never gonna see you again
And through your oaken window
You can hear that old freight train
That mournful sound's comin' nearer
If only she'd run to the gate
And ask me to forgive her
Before it is too late
And hear that old train whistle blowin'
See her rollin' down the track
I don't know where I'm goin'
I only know I won't be back
Leavin' the past far behind me
Tryin' so hard not to cry
If the engineer don't see me
I'm gonna take her on the fly
