(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
