Lonesome Whistle (3:17)

On a rainy day in late July
They stood at the depot and said goodbye
One last kiss as he boarded that train
The day Uncle Sam called his name

When she sees it comin’ through the pines
It takes her back to that moment in time
With the chuggin’ of the train
She can feel that pain
When that lonesome whistle cries

Weeks turned to months, months turned to years
But time couldn’t stop the fallin’ of her tears
Still you’ll find her waiting everyday
For the one that took her love away

When she sees it comin’ through the pines
It takes her back to that moment in time
With the chuggin’ of the train
She can feel that pain
When that lonesome whistle cries

Everyone knew what train he was on
They stood in salute as it carried him home
Draped in the flag comin’ off ole # 9
The day he took his last ride

When she sees it comin’ through the pines
It takes her back to that moment in time
With the chuggin’ of the train
She can feel that pain
When that lonesome whistle cries

When she sees it comin’ through the pines
It takes her back to that moment in time
With the chuggin’ of the train
She can feel that pain
When that lonesome whistle cries

With the chuggin’ of the train……
She can feel that pain
When that lonesome whistle cries
