Now where was you when the train left town
Standin' on the corner with my head bowed down
Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey
I wish to the Lord that train would wreck kill the engineer break the fireman's head
Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey
[ fiddle ]
Her rasher's on the table coffee's gettin' cold
Some dirty rounder's done stole my Jelly Roll
Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey
I call my girl somebody bring her back she's got her hand in my money sack
Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey
[ dobro ]
Ashes to ashes and this dust to dust show me the woman that a man can trust
Hey the train that carried her from town hey hey hey
