Verse 1
There was a time I lived the life
When I called her mine I called her my wife
Now she’s gone, to where I can’t go
She’s ridin’ that train on her long journey home

Verse 2
I lived in the country she grew up in town
Her father never liked me her mother always put me down
But she loved me more than they would ever know
She’s ridin’ that train on her long journey home

Verse 3
Day and night they tried to keep us apart
But it was love at first sight, right from the start
All we wanted was to live and be left alone
She’s ridin’ that train on her long journey home

Verse 4
Without saying goodbye, we knew it was time to go
She became my wife, and we left our childhood home
And settled in a cabin down in the valley below
We lived there ‘til her long journey home

Verse 5
We never had much money, but we always had the will
Life was like honey, sweet ‘til she took ill
Though she was strong, she died and left me alone
She’s ridin’ that train on her long journey home
