Tennessee raised Alabama bound
If the girl leave me gonna move from town
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train carried my girl from townWhere were you when the train left town
I was standing on the corner with head hung down
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train carried my girl from townRations on the table and the coffee's gettin' cold
Some old rambler stole my jelly roll
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train carried my girl from townI was going to the depotSee that girl, won't you bring her back
She got her fingers in my money sack
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train carried my girl from townAin't that the train that carried my girl from town
If I had her number Lord I'd sure flag it down
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train, hey, hey, hey, heyWon't you here that whistle blowin'I wish to the Lord that train would wreck
Kill the engineer, break the fireman's neck
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train carried my girl from townSee that train Lord I'd run down the track
Call? with my girl? back
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train carried my girl from townOh it gone with her nowAshes to ashes and dust to dust
Show me a woman that a boy can trust
Hey, Lord ain't that passing train that carried my girl from townOh it's gone, almost gone
