Capo 2nd fret
Well where you when the train left town
I was standin' on the corner with my head hung down
If I had my gun I'd let the hammer down
I'd shoot that rounder that took my girl from town
Chorus:
Hey the train that carried her away
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey you train that carried my girl from town
Hey hey hey train
Well there goes the train that carried my girl from town
If I knew her number boys I'd flag her down
I wish to the Lord that that train would wreck
Kill the engineer and break the fireman's neck
Chorus:
Hey hey train that carried her away
Hey hey hey hey
Hey that train that carried my girl from town
Hey hey hey hey
Well the ration's on the table and the coffee's gettin' cold
Some dirty rounder's done stole my jellyroll
Hello central give me number nine
I gotta talk to that baby of mine
Chorus:
Hey that train that carried my girl from town
Hey hey hey train
Oh hey that train that carried my girl from town
Hey hey hey hey
Oh that train that carried my girl from town
Hey hey hey hey
