Yonder Comes a Train

(Red Lane)



A lonesome whistle sails through the pines

And finds me crying on my pillow

I wipe the tears and raise up my head

I hear a forest call up low.



Listen, yonder comes a train, mama

Is that the one he's on

The only thing that keeps me goin'

Is knowin' he's coming back home

And yonder comes a train.



I broke his heart and he got on a train

And told me come back anytime

Hope that I must have heard that old lonesome whistle

At least ten thousand times.



Listen. yonder comes a train, mama

Is that the one he's on

The only thing that keeps me goin'

Is knowin' he's coming back home

And yonder comes a train...
