|
I hear her calling, I think |
|
I see her now |
|
I think I hear her calling now |
|
Hear her calling now |
|
That lady of flowers |
|
And her softs spell |
|
Her sweet taste |
|
Takes me far from his place |
|
Oh and the love train |
|
The love train is in the station now |
|
In the station now |
|
That old devil man |
|
Deep down there |
|
In his fire home |
|
Rose up knee high |
|
With his song of desire |
|
Words of deceit |
|
Dropped there at my feet |
|
Now outside my door he stands |
|
That old man of shadowAnd his shadow band |
|
For downn the thorny road |
|
Are we bound |
|
Without light |
|
Without soundAnd he's knocking |
|
On my door |
|
He says |
|
It's time we were going boy |
|
Donwn that old road of sorrow |
|
And now he's walking |
|
There beside me |
|
That old man of shadow |
|
Now there's this girl |
|
He says you can't forsake |
|
This girl it's said |
|
You're bound to take |
|
He says |
|
The Coal Train |
|
Is due here soon |
|
Is due here soon |
|
It'll come in time |
|
Yes it's coming soon |
|
It'll draw in close |
|
Oh no I say |
|
Not this one |
|
Not this one for that coal train |
|
Not this one |
|
For your cold coal train |
|
I had no love |
|
For her skinny waist |
|
I had no love |
|
For her at all |
|
Just a need |
|
Just a need |
|
When she stole me |
|
Along by the roadside |
|
And rattled the tin strings |
|
Of my body blue |
|
Oh I'm getting older now |
|
I'm getting older |
|
Walking down that road |
|
With that old man of shadow |
|
That old man of shadow |
|
And it's growing darker now |
|
And night is ever near |
|
Night is ever near |
|
Oh here it comes again |
|
Here it comes again |
|
The Coal Train baby |
|
That Coal Train tonight |
|
The Coal Train baby |
|
The cold coal train |
