Trains Make Me Lonesome

Trains Make Me Lonesome I was 5 years old when Daddy started packing And I stood there by my momma as she cried And the next thing that we knew some old train came passing through and Daddy got on board and we ain`t seen him no more CHORUS I wonder why trains make me lonesome It happens everytime that engine moans some And when I hear that whistle blow It makes my heart sink low And I wonder why trains make me lonesome It was a cold dark night when I drove her to the depot There were tears in my eyes and a ticket in her hand And as we stood there by those tracks I knew she wasn`t coming back So I turned and walked away but I still miss her today CHORUS This office building looks like Grand Central Station Those ink spots looklike engine No. 9 And this couch on which I lay Supposed to haul my blues away That old pipe you keep toking Is like an old coal engine smoking CHORU
