Trains Make Me Lonesome

I was 5 years old the dayDaddy started packingAnd I stood there by my mommaas she criedAnd the next thing that we knewsome old train came passing throughand Daddy got on boardand we ain't seen him no moreCHORUS:I wonder why trains make me lonesomeIt happens everytime that engine moans someAnd when I hear that whistle blowWell it makes my heart sink lowAnd I wonder why trains make me lonesomeIt was a cold dark nightwhen I drove her to the depotThere were tears in my eyesand a ticket in her handAnd as we stood there by those tracksI knew she wasn't coming backSo I turned and walked awaybut I still miss her todayCHORUSThis office building looks likeCentral StationThose ink spots look likeengine number nineAnd this couch on which I layIs supposed to haul my blues awayAnd that old pipe that you keep tokingIs like an old coal engine smoking
