Train Carried My Girl from Town - Kelly Joe Phelps

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?
