One day the train was passin' a coalin' crawlin' by
To look this old world over under God blue sky
My darling stood there weeping as I was looking back
I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
Bye bye so long there's something down the track keeps calling me
Bye bye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be
Hey when I get that feeling don't try to hold me back
I'll only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
I like to keep on goin' it helps me when I'm blue
I get the urge to travel that's all I want to do
I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow I've gotta move along
Bye bye so long there's something...
[ guitar ]
I know my baby loves me I love my baby too
But she don't understand me when I'm feeling blue
And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home and pack
And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
Bye bye so long there's something...
I'll just leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
