Morning Train

John Prine







I saw you

All dolled up

Singing a song in your pickup truck

You put me on a morning train

You put me on a morning train

Ain't no need to explain

You put me on a morning train



Hey, Hey, Brother Ray

What'd you mean by "what'd I say"

You put me on a morning train



You put me on a morning train

Ain't no need to explain

You put me on a morning train



If it's gonna rain

And I wish that it would

Just go ahead and rain

Get it over for good

If there's really a hole in that big blue sky

Then move it on over and let me by



Constantinople is a mighty long word

Got three more letters than mockingbird

You put me on a morning train



You put me on a morning train

Ain't no need to explain

You put me on a morning train



I like you with your make-up on

All dolled up

Singing a song

You put me on a morning train



You put me on a morning train

Ain't no need to explain

You put me on a morning train
