There's a slow train comin' |
|
It's movin' on down the line |
|
Steel wheels on iron rails |
|
Tonight I'm fixin' to die |
|
Whoo, I hope you don't mind, pretty mama |
|
Whoo, hope you don't mind if |
|
I go'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises |
|
I ain't gonna see you anymore |
|
There's a slow train comin' |
|
Comin' right on time |
|
Smokestacks and bottle lightning |
|
This jumper on the line |
|
Whoo, I can't do without it anymore, pretty mama |
|
Yes, I can't do it without it anymore' |
|
Cause when the steam from the slow train rises |
|
I ain't gonna see you anymore |
|
There's a slow train comin' |
|
To march us home from war |
|
With my leather boots and my haversack |
|
Sure can't take it no more |
|
Whoo, I cried for her baby when |
|
I saw you there |
|
Whoo, I cried for her just the same' |
|
Cause when the steam from the slow train rises |
|
I'm gonna cry for you just the same |
|
Well, there's a slow train comin' |
|
Carryin' the mighty worker hordes |
|
Eighteen days in the cotton field |
|
Enough to put a man out of coup d'amour |
|
Whoo, it's time to move on, pretty mama |
|
Whoo, yes, it's time to move on as |
|
I goAs the steam from my slow train rises |
|
It's time for me to get on board |
