Long and Lonesome Old Freight Train Songtext
von Jim Hurst

From the morning mist came a sound in the distance
Nothing but an old freight train
And he′s rolling along, like the rhythm to this song
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train

What a feeling in me watching cars from Tenesee
Down below that Dixon line
Singing brakeman's on the booze, dreaming up from his caboose
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train


I passed him on the run on the way to Binghamton
Allen Town in Philadelphia
Ilion in New York
On the way to Schnitzer Port
Came home beside that old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train

From the morning mist came a sound in the distance
Nothing but an old freight train
And he′s rolling along, like the rhythm to this song
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train

That long and lonesome old freight train
Love that long and lonesome old freight train
