That Lonesome Train Took My Baby Away by Papa Charlie McCoy Lyrics
Woke up this morning, found something wrong
My loving baby had caught that train and gone
Now I want you to starch my jumper, iron my overalls
I'm gonna ride that train that they call the Cannonball
Mister Depot Agent, close your depot down
The woman I'm loving, she's fixing to blow this town
Now that mean old fireman, that cruel old engineer
Gonna take my baby and leave me lonesome here
It ain't no telling what that train won't do
It'll take your baby and run right over you
Now that engineer man ought to be 'shamed of himself
Take women from their husbands, babies from their mother's breast
I walked down the track when the sun refused to shine
Looked like every minute I was gonna lose my mind
Now my knees was weak, my footsteps was all I heard
Looked like every minute like I was stepping in another world
Mister Depot Agent, close your depot down
The woman I'm loving, she's fixing to blow this town
Now that mean old fireman, that cruel old engineer
Gonna take my baby and leave me lonesome here
My loving baby had caught that train and gone
Now I want you to starch my jumper, iron my overalls
I'm gonna ride that train that they call the Cannonball
Mister Depot Agent, close your depot down
The woman I'm loving, she's fixing to blow this town
Now that mean old fireman, that cruel old engineer
Gonna take my baby and leave me lonesome here
It ain't no telling what that train won't do
It'll take your baby and run right over you
Now that engineer man ought to be 'shamed of himself
Take women from their husbands, babies from their mother's breast
I walked down the track when the sun refused to shine
Looked like every minute I was gonna lose my mind
Now my knees was weak, my footsteps was all I heard
Looked like every minute like I was stepping in another world
Mister Depot Agent, close your depot down
The woman I'm loving, she's fixing to blow this town
Now that mean old fireman, that cruel old engineer
Gonna take my baby and leave me lonesome here
