And over in the teacher's home she waited by the phone

For calls which never rang, and people who never sang

Train man rambled dusty into town and made his daily round

Train man and he comes in the night

brings her no love but he's right

Yes he's right

Through fog and misty morning dew, she'd seen his oily face

and he had touched her heart, taken it apart

Though he never stopped to speak a word his voice was all she heard

Train man and he comes in the night

brings her no love but he's right

Yes he's right

Little girl you're a pretty little girl

Won't you come with me a while

Little girl in your frilly little world

Won't you give me your sweet smile



If you come tonight bring someone

If you come tonight bring someone

Don't come alone

If you come alone don't come

Don't come

Don't come



Yes i know he's right

Yes i know he's right

oh I know he's right



She held his hand and whispered soft

I love you train man

He just grumbled like engine as it rumbles

And said someday

Train man and he knows something's wrong and he's right

Oh yes he's right
