Lonesome Train
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Train coming down the track
I stood there and I watched it go
Until it wasn't coming back
I heard my mama start to weep
Saw a tear in my daddy's eyes
Everybody just bowed their heads
As that train went crawling by
Oh please tell me Mr. President
How this came to be
We praise the men who lie and cheat
And kill the man of peace
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Train coming down the line
Now I've stood here and I've watched it roll
Forever through my mind
