Two Trains Running Songtext
von Zora Young

Now there′s two, two trains runnin'
And they now all are goin′ my way
Well now one runs at midnight
And the other one runs before day
It runs every mornin' just before day
Oh Lordy, sho' nuff I do
Oh yeah, oh yeah

I′ve been crazy, yes I′ve been a fool
I've been crazy all my life
Well now I fell in love
With a man who had a wife
She had a switchblade knife
She wanted to take my life
Sho′ nuff I've been a fool
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh


Long, so long and tall
Till he weeped like oh, a willow tree
Well now they say he′s no good
But he's alright with me
He′s alright with me, oh oh oh yeah

Ooh, I say help me, somebody help me
Somebody help me oh, with these blues
Well now he's the one I'm lovin′ people I swear
I do hate to lose, I do hate to lose
I do hate to lose, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Well, fell in love, fell in love
Man who had a wife
Big mistake people
She had a switchblade knife
She wanted to take my life

She wanted to take my life
She wanted to take my life

Oh, ho ho ho
Oh, ho ho ho


Gettin′ late over in the evening
And the train's goin′ my way
You see one runnin' at the stroke of midnight
The other one runnin′ every mornin' before day
Just before day, just before day
Just, just, just, just, just before day, yeah

Oh well it′s two, two trains runnin'
