Dawn McCarthy and Bonnie ‘Prince' Billy - Milk Train lyrics

There was mornin' train used to come on through When this sleepy town was alive And ever' Sunday we would come and see Some mighty fancy people arrive Oh, they'd arrive aboard the milk train There was a well dressed lady from the city Used to always give me her smile And she looked so fine, she was sweet and kind She let me get to know her awhile, oh, for a little while Oh, when the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come by here any more (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Now I still live in that rail-road shack And I wander down that dusty old track Like a lonely old-timer out of my mind Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me When the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't stop by here any more (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Now the only thing to come on through Is a Jimmy-John now and then And I dream of the day she'll come back this way And let me get to know her again Oh, like way back when When the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) Oh, the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come here any more (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
