2. Train a Comin

Train a comin down the track
I wish I had my baby back
Train a comin skies turned black
listen to the whistle of her big smokestack

workin for a dollar a day
diggin with the rhythm of that drivin train hear the iron horse clickety clack
I wish I had my baby back
wish I had my baby back.

Wish I heard my baby say
you can keep me happy with your dollar a day
I won't leave if you won't stay
I'll stand by my man anyway

I told her I'd move down the line
looking for a shovel just to ease my mind
and I can dig my life away
cause I know how to work but I ain't learned to play
standing there digging for a dollar a day.

I look back at setting suns
thinking back to all I'd done
I see her sad face riding high
and there ain't a day that I don't die

Nowhere can my baby be
that ain't the place I'm meant to be
there ain't nothing sadder than the whistle stack singing I wish I had my baby back
I wish I had my baby back

Train a coming down the track I wish I had my baby back

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
