'cause i don't care where she's been

and when i get that woman back

she'll never leave again. i said

now look a-yonder coming

coming down that long railroad track

well

well

i can see her black smoke rollin'

i can hear her whistle whine

she's just around the curve

she's moving fast that line on down. i said

now look a-yonder coming

coming down that long railroad track

gonna bring my baby back
