Where was you when the train left town
Standin on the corner with my head hung down
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
Rashers on the table, coffee getting cold
Some fast talking gambler come and stole my jelly roll
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
There goes my girl, somebody bring her back
Shes got her fingers in my money sack
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I wish to the lord that that train would wreck
I wish the engineer would break the firemans neck
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
Ashes to ashes and its dust to dust
Aint no good lookin woman that a man can trust
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
Standing at the station with my hat in my hand
Thinking bout that woman with a gambling man
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
Where was you when the train left town
Standin on the corner with my head hung down
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
I said I hate, I hate
I hate that train that carried my girl from town
