Trains Make Me Lonesome Testo

I was five years old when daddy started packing,
And I stood there by my Momma as she cried.
And the next thing that we knew, that ol' train came passing through.
And daddy got on board, and we ain❝t seen him no more.
I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
Happens everytime that engine moans some.
You hear that whistle blow, well it makes my heart sink low.
I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
It was a cold dark night I drove her to the depot.
There were tears in my eyes, a suitcase in her hand.
As we stood there by those tracks I knew she wasn❝t coming back.
I turned and walked away but I still miss her today.
I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
Happens everytime that engine moans some.
You hear that whistle blow, well it makes my heart sink low.
I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
This old office building looks like Central Station.
An' those ink spots look engine No. 9.
This ol' couch on which I lay is s'posed to haul my blues away.
But that old pipe you keep tokin' is like an old coal enging smoking.
Doctor, I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
Happens everytime that engine moans some.
You hear that whistle blow, well it makes my heart sink low.
I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
Instrumental break.
Well, I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
Happens everytime that engine moans some.
You hear that whistle blow, well it makes my heart sink low.
I wonder why trains make me lonesome.
