THE TRAIN SONG

Locomotive number 9 travelling down to New Orleans
Spittin' out fire and smoke as black as coal the hottest I have ever see
Oh Engineer, Mr Engineer won't you please get me home on time
'Cause I can't stay away, no not another day
From that pretty little woman of mine

Long time riding oh down this rusty track
And I fear that I'd never get home
Long time dreaming of what I'll do when I get back
Be there when the morning comes
When the morning comes

Hey there Mr Conductor
Can you tell me what time we're due
Well I hate to seem impatient but you'd be excited too
If you got a pretty little woman like I got
Just waitin' for you back at home
And once I reach her loving arms
And never again she'll roam

Long time riding oh down this rusty track
And I fear that I'd never get home
Long time dreaming of what I'll do when I get back
Be there when the morning comes
When the morning comes

Long time riding oh down this rusty track
And I fear that I'd never get home
Long time dreaming of what I'll do when I get back
Be there when the morning comes
When the morning comes

Seems kind of hard to believe
That I'm goin, goin home at last
They say that things have changed
Well I guess a lot of time has passed
And just a few more miles and a little more time
Before you know it I'll be there
And I'll be waltzing arm in arm
With my darling electric chair
Seems kind of hard to believe I'm goin' home at last
They say that things have changed
Well I guess a lot of time has passed
Just a few more miles and a little more time

Before you know it I'll be there
And I'll be waltzing arm in arm
With my darling electric chair
And I'll be waltzing arm in arm
With my darling electric chair
It's been a long time riding oh down this rusty track
And I feel that I never get home
I've been a long time dreaming
Of what I'd do when I'd get back
Be there when the morning comes
When the morning comes
