lyrics
Old Reuben built a train
And he set it on the track.
Run it to the Lord knows where.
And it's oh, Lordy me,
And it's oh, Lordy my,
Run it to the Lord knows where.
Well, you should have been uptown,
When old Reuben's train came down.
Hear that whistle blow a hundred miles.
And it's oh, Lordy me,
And it's oh, Lordy my,
Hear that whistle blow a hundred miles.
Well, I spent the night in jail
With no money for my bail.
Lordy how it sleeted and it snowed.
And it's oh, Lordy me,
And it's oh, Lordy my,
Lordy, how it sleeted and it snowed.
Well, I've been to the east,
And I've been to the west.
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
And it's oh, Lordy me,
And it's oh, Lordy my,
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
Well, I'm walkin' these old ties,
I got teardrops in my eyes,
Tryin' to read a letter from my home.
If that train runs right
See my woman tomorrow night.
Five hundred miles away from home.
Old Reuben built a train
And he set it on the track.
Run it to the Lord knows where.
And it's oh, Lordy me,
And it's oh, Lordy my,
Run it to the Lord knows where.
Old Reuben built a train
And he set it on the track.
Run it to the Lord knows where.
And it's oh, Lordy me,
And it's oh, Lordy my,
Run it to the Lord knows where.
I was released in Philadelphia the same week as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I stayed there as long as I could
stand, then moved to Baltimore to go to art school. I have played guitar since I was 18. I taught myself. I did it to impress the ladies. It still doesn't work. So, I sing songs about drinking, trains and women, two of which I am familiar with....more
