Now where was you when the train left town

Standin' on the corner with my head bowed down

Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey

I wish to the Lord that train would wreck kill the
engineer break the fireman's head

Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey

[ fiddle ]

Her rasher's on the table coffee's gettin' cold

Some dirty rounder's done stole my Jelly Roll

Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey

I call my girl somebody bring her back she's got her hand in my money sack

Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey

[ dobro ]

Ashes to ashes and this dust to dust show me the woman that a man can trust

Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey
