Papa Charlie McCoy - That Lonesome Train Took My Baby Away lyrics

Woke up this morning, found something wrong My loving babe, had caught that train and gone Now won't you starch my jumper, iron my overalls I'm going to ride that train, that they call the Cannonball Mr depot agent, close your depot down The woman I'm loving, she's fixing to blow this town Now that mean old fireman, that cruel old engineer Going to take my baby, and leave me lonesome here It ain't no telling, what that train won't do It'll take your baby, and run right over you Now that engineer man, ought to be ashamed of himself Take women from their husbands, babies from their mother's breast I walked down the track, when the stars refused to shine Looked like every minute, I was going to lose my mind Now my knees was weak, my footsteps was all I heard Looked like every minute, I was stepping in another world
