Pretty Little Goat - Jenny on the Railroad / Ruben's Train Lyrics

Lord you should have been uptown
When old Reuben's train come 'round
Hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
It's oh lordy me oh lordy my
Hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
He said I'm nine hundred miles
From my wife and my child
Wished I was nine hundred more
It's oh Lordy me oh Lordy my
Wished I was nine hundred more
Oh Reuben had a wreck
And he broke his little neck
About a mile and a half from town
His head was cut off by that driving wheel
His poor body never was found
It's a long steel rail
And a short cross tie
Ride on them tracks 'till I die
It's oh lordy me oh lordy my
Gonna ride on them tracks 'till I die
Oh Reuben had a train
Run from England to Spain
Never got no letters from his home
It's oh lordy me oh lordy my
Never got no letters from his home
