—Bill Monroe (and others…)
Oh, I thought I heard that train-how lonesome did blow
She blowed like she'll never blow no more
Oh, you ought to been up town and see the train come down
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Oh, I'm walking these ties with tears in my eyes
I'm trying to read a letter from my home
If my woman says so, I'm never gonna work no more
I'm gonna sidetrack my train and go home
If this train runs me right, I'll see my woman Saturday night
I'm tired of living this'a way
Oh, I thought I heard that train-so lonesome she'd blow
She blowed like she'll never blow no more
Oh, I thought I heard that train–how lonesome did blow
She blowed like she'll never blow no more
