A lonesome whistle sails through the pines and finds me crying on my pillow

I wipe the tears and raise up my head I hear a forest call up low

Listen yonder comes a train mama is that the one he's on

The only thing that keeps me goin' is knowin' he's coming back home

And yonder comes a train



I broke his heart and he got on a train and told me come back anytime

Hope that I must have heard that old lonesome whistle at least ten thousand times

Listen yonder comes a train mama...
