Long and Lonesome Old Freight Train

From the morning mist came a sound in the distance
Nothing but an old freight train
And he's rolling along like the rhythm to this song
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train

What a feeling in me watching cars from Tennessee
Down below that Dixon Line
Singing brakeman's on the loose
Dreaming out from his caboose
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train

I passed him on the run on the way to Binghamton
Allentown and Philadephi-a
Ilion and New York and around to Spencerport
Came home beside that old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train

From the morning mist came a sound in the distance
Nothing but an old freight train
And he's rolling along like the rhythm to this song
That long and lonesome old freight train
That long and lonesome old freight train
