"That Lonesome Train(In My Mind"
Hear that lonesome sound
Comin' from somewhere in the ground
That lonesome whistle blows in my mind
That lonesome, lonesome whine
That lonesome train in my mind
That lonesome, lonesome whine
Brings the hair up on my neck and chill
Brings back the memory of hank's whippoorwill
And I just hang my head way down low
For soon I know it will be my time to go
Hear that lonesome sound
Comin' from somewhere in the ground
