Where were you when the train left town
I was standing on the corner with my head hung down
Hey that train... carried my girl from town
Heyyyy Hey Hey Hey

Wish to God that the train would wreck
Kill the engineer and bust the fireman’s neck

There goes my gal someone bring her back
For she got her hand in my money sack

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Lord show me a woman that a man can trust

Rations on the table, coffee’s gettin’ cold
And some dirty rounder took my jelly roll

If I had a gun I’d bring the hammer down
I’d kill that ol’ rounder took my girl from town

Where were you when the train left town
Out standing on the corner with my head hung down
