Lyrics
Train Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And over in the teacher's home
She waited by the phone
For calls which never rang
And people who never sang
Train man rambled dusty
Into town and made
His daily round
Train man and he comes
In the night
Brings her no love
But he's right
Yes he's right
Through fog
And misty morning dew
She'd seen his oily face
And he had touched her heart
Taken it apart
Though he never stopped
To speak a word
His voice was all she heard
Train man
And he comes in the night
Brings her no love
But he's right
Yes he's right
Little girl
You're a pretty little girl
Won't you come with me a while
Little girl
In your frilly little world
Won't you give me
Your sweet smile
If you come tonight
Bring someone
If you come tonight
Bring someone
Don't come alone
If you come alone
Don't come
Don't come
Don't come
Yes I know he's right
Yes I know he's right
Oh I know he's right
She held his hand
And whispered soft
I love you train man
He just grumbled
Like engine as it rumbles
And said someday
Train man and he knows
Something's wrong
And he's right
Oh yes he's right
