Lyrics

This is a song called Two Nineteen Two Nineteen, done took my man away Two Nineteen, done took my man away The Two Seventeen train, Is bound to bring him back to me someday I went down to the station, I watched a train roll by I went down to the station, I watched a train roll by Saw my man's face at the window lord, I hanged down my head and cried I walked over that hill, The clouds were hangin' low. I walked over that hill, The clouds were hang - were hangin' low. Now I raise up my head and listen, mm, Every time I hear a train whistle blow. When a man gets the blues, Lord, He grabs a train and rides. When a man gets the blues, Lord, He grabs a train and rides. But-when a woman gets the blues, honey, She hangs down her head and she cries. Was the Two Nineteen, that took my man away Two Nineteen train, done took my man, took my man away It's gonna be the Two Seventeen train, mm, That's gonna bring him back To me someday.
