Lyrics

I’m gonna catch me a freight train Lord I’m leaving this lonesome town The one I loved and gave my heart to For someone else she turned me down

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 loved has turned me down

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