Hear that old train whistle

howling in the night

If that flyer's southbound

Everything will be all right



I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now,

I'm gonna get back home somehow



Don't nobody tell me

baby's been untrue

If she's been unfaithful

I don't know what I'll do



I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now

I'm gonna get back home somehow



Never thought that I could miss her so

I never thought I could , now I know



The sound of the old train whistle

Makes me want to cry

Reminds me of that lonely feeling

When I said goodbye



I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now

I'm gonna get back home somehow
