Reuben's Train

Reuben had a train and he road it down the line
Road it to God knows where
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my
Road it to God knows where

You should have been in town
When old Reuben's train went down
You could hear the whistle blow from miles around
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my
You could hear the whistle blow from miles around

Reuben down and low
He's got no place to go
He's been running round them train tracks
All his days
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my
Been running round them train tracks
All his days
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my

So he got himself a blade
Laid old Reuben in the shade
Said he's gonna start a graveyard of his own
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my
He's gonna start a graveyard of his own
