Lyrics
Train come
rollin’ down the track
Yes, a train come
rollin’ down the track
When the big train come
I won’t be comin’ back
Silver dollar
had done lost its shine
My shoes is thin
I done walked this town
When the big train come
you won’t see me around
Well, hey, hey, hey
it’s been a real good time
I said, hey, hey, hey, it’s been a real good time
Now I got to move on
further on down the line
Said hey Big Stevie,
Mr. Harmonica Tom
Said hey Bobcat Jerry,
the Hawk he only fly at night
It’s been a real good time
When the big train come
I got to move on down the line
