Graveyard Train Songtext
von Wild Ponies

Way down in Texas
Where the live oak grows
There′s an iron rail that lays there
Right between the marble and stone
Don't stand in front of that headlamp′s shine
Nothing gets in the way of the Santa Fe line
Here it comes whinin' through the tombstones

When the train rolls through and rattles them bones
Oh, oh, oh

You can hear the rumble
You can feel the ground quake
The leaves start to rustle
And the tombstones shake
Off in the distance you can hardly tell
If it's the moan of the whistle or the banshee yell
Don′t get caught after dark alone

When the train rolls through and rattles them bones
Oh, oh, oh


When you ride that train through Texas
In the middle of the night
Just outside of Dallas
You better hold on tight
′Cause the folks laid there don't get no rest
When they cross their hands upon their chest
It wakes their tired and weary souls

When the train rolls through and rattles them bones
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Way down in Texas
Where the live oak grows
There′s an iron rail that lays there
Right between the marble and stone
Don't stand in front of that headlamp′s shine
Nothing gets in the way of the Santa Fe line
Here it comes whinin' through the tombstones

When the train rolls through and rattles them bones
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

When the train rolls through and rattles them bones
The train rolls through and rattles them bones
The train rolls through and rattles them bones
