Long Black Train

Here comes a long black train, Lord

Right by my back door again

Here comes a long black train

Right by my back door again

Now that's the same ol' train now

Took my two best friends

Lord, that train start off slowly

My tears, they keep streaming down

Lord, that train start off slowly

My tears keep streaming down

I cried, "Oh, Lord, why was I left in this Godforsaken town?"

So I said, "Please, Mr. Conductor

Won't you let me ride your train?"

Oh, please, please, please, Mr. Conductor

Let me ride on your train

He said, "This train ain't mine, you're askin' me in vain"

Oh, please, Mr. Engineer, won't you let me ride your line?

Ride your line

Oh, please, Mr. Engineer, won't you let me ride on your line?

He said, "I mourn my heartbreaker now, this ain't no train of mine"

I watch the headlights shining

Far as my eyes could see

I watch the headlights shining

Far as my eyes could see

Wondering why, oh why that someone never sent for me

Here comes a long black train, lord

Right by my back door again

Here comes a long black train

It's right by my back door again

Now, that's the same ol' train, now

Took my two very best friends
