Stonewall Jackson - Smoke Along The Track Lyrics

One day the train was passin' I caught it crawlin' by

To look this old world over under God's blue sky

My darling stood there weeping as I was looking back

I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track

Goodbye so long until I come back home you'll be my dream

Goodbye so long there's lots of places that I've never seen

I'll always be a drifter but I'll be driftin' back

To where I left you cryin' in the smoke along the track



I like to keep on goin' it helps me when I'm blue

I get the urge to travel that's all I want to do

I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam

And when I hear that whistle blow I've gotta move along

Goodbye so long there's something down the track keeps calling me

Goodbye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be

So when I get that feeling don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track



I know my baby loves me I love my baby too

But she don't understand me when I'm feeling blue

And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home and pack

And leave my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track

Goodbye so long I hate to leave you but I've gotta go

Goodbye so long it's coming now just heard that whistle blow

It'll be here in a minute you'll wave and I'll look back

I'm gonna leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
