do you remember when i told you

that i had a tale to tell?

let me regale you, child

about a life spent on the rail



forget me not, don't forget it

cuz i'll be gone in a minute...



and whenever the drugstore man

used to come around

i'd bite my lip

and then i'd take myself to town



forget me not, don't forget it

cuz i'll be gone in a minute...

don't call me no more, no more

nobody ever needs ya

when you're this far gone



now you say the train's a'comin'

but i don't see it on the track

last train's eleven

and it ain't comin' back



forget me not . . .
