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
