(Alan Rose)
One day the train was passin'
Icaught it comin' by
To look this old world over under God's bluesky
Mydarlin' stood there weepin' asI was looking back
I kissed my baby cryin' in thesmoke along the track
Goodbye so long until I come back home
You'll be mydream
Goodbye so long, there's lots of places that I've neverseen
I'll always be a drifter butI'll be driftin'back
To where I left you cryin' in thesmoke along thetrack
I like to keep on goin' it helps me when I'm blue
I get the urge to travelthat's all I want to do
I just can't settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blowI've gotta move along
Goodbyeso longthere's something down the track keeps callin' me
Goodbyeso longI guess that's just the way I'll always be
So when I get that feelin' don't try to hold me back
I'd only leave you crying in that smoke along the track
I know my baby loves meI love my baby too
But he don't understand me when I'm feelin'blue
And when I hear that whistle blow, I hurry home and pack
And leave my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track.
Goodbye, so long, I hate to leave you, but I've got to go
Goodbye, so long, It's coming downjust hear that whistle blow
It'll be here in a minute, you'll wave and I'll look back
I'm gonna leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track.
Goodbye so long until I come back home
You'll be mydream
Goodbye so long, there's lots of places that I've neverseen
I'll always be a drifter butI'll be driftin'back
To where I left you cryin' in thesmoke along thetrack
To where I left you cryin' in thesmoke along thetrack
