Where were you when the train left town?
I was standing on the corner, my head hanging down
Standing on the corner, my head hanging down
I'm crying, train carried my girl away
Oh, that train carried my girl away
Yeah, I been crying, I been crying
I been crying, that train carried my girl away from town
Ashes to ashes and then dust to dust
Show me the woman, Lord, that I can trust
Show me the woman that I can trust
I been crying, hey, train carried my girl away
Yeah, I been crying, hey
Oh, train carried my girl away, away from town
Yeah, that's alright
Yet, I wish to the Lord that the train would wreck
Kill the engineer and break the fireman's neck
Wish to the Lord that the train would turn around
Bringing my girl back to this here town
I been crying, hey, train carried my girl away
Yeah, I been crying, boy, I been crying
Yeah, that train carried my girl away from town
Boy, I been crying, hey
Train carried my girl, mm-mm-mm
Oh-oh, away from town, hey
Smoke cloud rising, head for the west
There goes the baby I love the best
Smoke cloud falling down from the sky
Oh, my girl, won't you tell me why?
Train carried my girl away from town
Come on now, tell me, come on now, tell me
How that train carried my girl away from town
Get away from town
Get away from town
Get away from town
Oh, get away from town
Where were you when that train left town?
