Lonesome trains call out to me
Like a screaming ghost that whistle blows
Haunts me in my sleep at night
Of dark forgotten ramlin days
Seems to know my name
Seems to know my name
Seems to know my name
Seems to know my name
Too many years I rode the rails
Town to town, East to West
Free livin costs a life to play
Too high a price I can't go back
Jimbo Walker was his name
Tried to send me to my grave
That brakeman fell on his own blade
I buried him and changed my name
Will they come for me
Will they come for me
Will they come for me
Will they come for me
I can hear that whistle call calling me
I can hear that whistle blow... and I think I'll go
Pick me up, take me away
Rock me to sleep, haul my shame
There's still ramblin in my bones yet
Sing sweetly and I'll soon forget
Where will it take me
Where will it take me
Where will it take me
Where will it take me
