The Gone Dead Train

Lyrics

And I'm goin'
 way down
 Winden
 Lord, I'm gonna try to leave here today
 Tell 'em I believe I'll find my way
 And that train is just that way
 Gotta go on that train
 I said I'd even broke my
 jaw
 job
 Boys, if you out and runnin' around in this world this train will wreck your mind
 (Spoken: Your life, too)
 Lord, I once was a
 hobo
 I crossed a many a point
 But I decided I'd go down the frog
 travelin' light
 And take it as it comes
 (Spoken: I reckon' you know the fireman and the engineer would, too)
 There are so many people have gone down today
 And this fast train north and southern traveling light and clear
 Oooo-ooh, I wanna ride your train
 I said, "Look here, engineer, can I ride your train?"
 He said, "Look here, you oughta know this train ain't mine and you're asking me in vain"
 Said, "You go to the Western Union, you might get a chance"
 (Spoken: I didn't know the Western Union run no train)
 Said, "You go to the Western Union, you might get a chance"
 You might get wire to some of your people and your fare will be sent right ahere
 (Spoken: Hadn't thought that's the way it is)
 I wanna go home, and that train is done gone dead
 I wanna go, that train is done gone dead
 I done lost my
 wife and my three little children, and my mother's sick in bed
 Oooo-ooh please, help me win my fare
 'Cause I'm a travelin' man, boys I can't stay here
