Passing of the Train Lyrics


Way back when it all began
With muscle, wood and steel
Mighty man tamed the land
With a horse that rode on wheelsIt broke the heart of the red man
And made a name for Jesse James
A mark was left forever
By the passing of the trainAs a little child, my thoughts ran wild
As I clung to Mama's dress
As the train grew near the engineer
Waved my fears to restHe tipped his hat and pulled the cord
And blew a long refrain
Around midnight I'd be dreaming
Of the passing of the trainClickety clack heating up the track
Can't you hear that whistle scream?
She's a-letting you know just how she feels
With a belly full of steamAll aboard who's going aboard
It'll never be the same
It's a downright lonesome feeling

With the passing of the trainThat old caboose, they cut it loose
And ain't gonna bring it back
It sits beside the towns that died
Along a million miles of trackWe're always late when we get there
So we'd sooner hop a plane
But anyone who's heard that whistle
Mourns the passing of the trainClickety clack heating up the track
Can't you hear that whistle scream?
She's a-letting you know just how she feels
With a belly full of steamAll aboard who's going aboard
It'll never be the same
It's a downright lonesome feeling
With the passing of the trainAll aboard who's going aboard
It'll never be the same
It's a downright lonesome feeling
With the passing of the train
