|
The longest train |
|
I ever saw |
|
Went down that |
|
Georgia line |
|
The engine passed at six o'clock |
|
And the cab passed by at nine |
|
In the pines, in the pines |
|
Where the sun never shines |
|
And we shiver when the cold wind blows |
|
I asked my captain for the time of day |
|
He said he throwed his watch away |
|
A long steel rail and a short cross tie |
|
I'm on my way back home |
|
Little girl, little girl, what have |
|
I done That makes you treat me so |
|
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn |
|
You caused me to leave my home |
|
My father was an engineer |
|
Died a mile out of town |
|
His head was found in the driving gear |
|
But his body was never found |
