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
'cause 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
'cause 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 . . .
