New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Ghost Train Blues lyrics

Hunter-Nelson Melancholy lingo Soul upon the wing Moanin' at my window, I can hear it sing Steamin' down a cold track Sleepin' in a coal sack Bad pint of applejack, done me wrong Solitary song Up to meet the dawn Ghost Train Blues, Baby all night long Sing it to the moon Sing it to the stars Sing it to a hundred haunted hell-bound boxcars Ridin' on the Ghost Train ooh ooh Tracks made of blue flame ooh hooh Moanin' in the cold rain Listen to it pour I don't want to ride this Ghost Train anymore (Bridge) Ghost Train switchman reekin' of booze Northbound, Southbound: his to choose Got no blanket but my own tattoos And no damn music but the Ghost Train Blues Listen to that wolf-wail Thunder clap and black hail ‘nough to make my nerve fail, All night long Stand before the dawn Dare to meet the day No one here to help, But they help me anyway Solitary song Stand before the dawn Ghost Train Blues, Baby all night long Sing about forever A moment at a time Riding on the Ghost Train, Mortuary Line
