Milk Train Lyrics

There was a morning train used to come on through
When this sleepy town was alive
And ev'ry Sunday we would come and see
Some mighty fancy people arrive
Ooohh, they arrived aboard the milk train
(La-la-la-la-la-la la)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 a while
Ooohh, for a little while
Back 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 anymore
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)Now I still live in that railroad shack
And I wander down that rusty old track
Like a lonely old-timer out of my mind
Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me
Back 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-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
Ooohh, 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-la-la)
