Down The Track

Train train, I hear your whistle blowing
I can see lots of people and I wonder where their going
Three engines pulling hard because she’s got a heavy load
Kicking up the dust along a back country road

It will be quite sometime before your back this way again
Then I’ll sit and wonder where — all them people been
The ground it shakes and rumbles as the cars they pass on by
I watch as all the black smoke rises up into the sky

Train train, I hear your whistle blowing
I can see lots of people and I wonder where their going
Three engines pulling hard because she’s got a heavy load
Kicking up the dust along a back country road

Some people on the trip, they won’t be coming back
The next time that old train comes a rolling down the track
That train well it’s done gone — gone clean outta sight
Won’t be back this way until long into the night

Train train --------
Train train --------
I hear your whistle blowing
I can see lot’s of people and I wonder where their going
Three engines pulling hard cause she’s got a heavy load
Kicking up the dust along a back country row-a-oad
