Song Lyrics

Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
The one I love has turned me down



I'm gonna catch me a freight train
Lord, I'm leaving this lonesome town
The one I loved and gave my heart to
That's the one that turned me down



* Refrain



There's sixteen cars behind each engine
I ride the last one to the end of the line
I don't know where I'm going or where I'll wind up
Just anything to ease my worried mind



* Refrain

Jimmy H. Martin, Paul M. Williams
