Distant Lonesome Train

Lyrics

Oh, when I hear that cold wind howlin' It's midnight, pouring rain Oh, I hear my baby callin' out my name On that distant lonesome train I hear the drums out in the field And they're crying out in pain Her spirit calls me from the barren ground On that distant lonesome train On that distant lonesome Well, the devil is my driver Burning coal that turns to flame So take me down to the gates of hell On that distant lonesome train On that distant lonesome train On a traveling cannonball There's a rider without a name So lay her down, people, let me ride On that distant lonesome train On that distant lonesome train On that distant lonesome
