Rum Ragged – St. John's Train Lyrics

You can wait by the railroad tracks
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
You can wait, but they won't be back
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'

They took apart that band of steel
Down by the wrecker's yard
They left me standin' there draggin' my heels
Times got tough, times got hard

You can wait by the railroad tracks
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
You can wait, but they won't be back
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'

You won't see the lights in the passenger cars
The pictures in the window frames
You won't hear 'em shoutin' out, "All aboard
Last call for the St. John's train"

You can wait by the railroad tracks
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
You can wait, but they won't be back
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'

You won't hear the whistle on a winter's night
Echoin' 'round the hill
All I know is that I'd feel alright
If I heard them echoing, echoing, echoing still

You can wait by the railroad tracks
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
You can wait, but they won't be back
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'

You can wait by the railroad tracks
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
You can wait, but they won't be back
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'

You can wait by the railroad tracks
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
You can wait, but they won't be back
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'

You can wait by the railroad tracks
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
You can wait, but they won't be back
Won't be no trains comin' and goin'
