[ Featuring J.D. Crowe, the New South ]
Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
The one I love has turned me down
I'm gonna catch me a freight train
Lord, I'm leaving this lonesome town
The one I loved andgave my heart to
That's the one that turned me down
* Refrain
There's sixteen cars behind each engine
I ride the last one to the end of the line
I don't know where I'm going or where I'll wind up
Just anything to ease my worried mind
* Refrain
