Well theres a black train a rolling through the hills of Tennessee
Taking my baby so far away from me
Oh black train, my babys on that black train
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain
Then disappear down the line, on that black train


Said she didnt know if she loved me anymore
Needed some time away to know for sure
Oh black train, my babys on that black train
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain
Then disappear down the line, on that black train


Nobody knows just where my baby went
Three lonely years oh and I aint seen her since
Oh black train, my babys on that black train
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain
Then disappear down the line, on that black train
Kiss me goodbye to the lonesome whistle strain
Then disappear down the line, on that black train
Oh black train, oh oh oh
