Train Carried My Girl from Town

where were you when the train left town
 I was standing on the corner, my head hanging down
 I be crying hey, train carried my girl away
 I be crying hey, that train carried my girl away from town
 ashes to ashes and dust to dust
 show me the woman that I can trust
 I be crying hey, train carried my girl away
 I be crying hey, that train carried my girl away from town
 I wish to the lord that train would wreck
 kill the engineer and break that fireman's neck
 I wish to the lord that train would turn around
 bring my girl back to this here town
 I be crying hey, train carried my girl away
 I be crying hey, that train carried my girl away from town
 smoke-cloud rising, heading for the west
 there goes the baby that I love the best
 smoke-cloud falling down from the sky
 oh my girl won't you tell me why
 train carried my girl away from town
 where were you when the train left town?
