Where was you when the train left town

Standin on the corner with my head hung down

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town



Rashers on the table, coffee getting cold

Some fast talking gambler come and stole my jelly roll

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town



There goes my girl, somebody bring her back

Shes got her fingers in my money sack

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town



I wish to the lord that that train would wreck

I wish the engineer would break the firemans neck

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town



Ashes to ashes and its dust to dust

Aint no good lookin woman that a man can trust

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town



Standing at the station with my hat in my hand

Thinking bout that woman with a gambling man

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town



Where was you when the train left town

Standin on the corner with my head hung down

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town

I said I hate, I hate

I hate that train that carried my girl from town
