smoke along the track

one day the train was passing

i caught it coming by

to look this old world over

under god's blue sky

my darling stood there weeping as i was looking back

i kissed my baby crying in the smoke along the track

bye

bye

so long

there's something down the track

it's calling me

bye

bye

so long

i guess that's just the way

i'll always be

now when i get this feeling

don't try to hold me back

i'll only leave you crying

in the smoke along the track

i like to keep on going

it helps me when i'm blue

i get the urge to travel

that's all i want to do

i know i just can't settle down because i like to roam

and when i hear that whistle blow i gotta move along

bye

bye

so long

there's something down the track

it's calling me

bye

bye

so long

i guess that's just the way

i'll always be

now when i get this feeling

don't try to hold me back

i'll only leave you crying

in the smoke along the track

i know my baby loves me

i love my baby too

but she don't understand me when i'm feeling blue

and when i hear that whistle blow i hurry home to pack

and kiss my baby crying in the smoke along the track

bye

bye

so long

there's something down the track

it's calling me

bye

bye

so long

i guess that's just the way

i'll always be

now when i get this feeling

don't try to hold me back

i'll only leave you crying

in the smoke along the track
