This is a song called two nineteen

Two nineteen, done took my man away

Two Nineteen, done took my man away

The two seventeen train, is bound to bring him back to me someday

I went down to the station, I watched a train roll by

I went down to the station, I watched a train roll by

Saw my man's face at the window lord, I hanged down my head and cried

I walked over that hill, the clouds were hangin' low

I walked over that hill, the clouds were hang - were hangin' low

Now I raise up my head and listen, mm, every time I hear a train whistle

blow

When a man gets the blues lord, he grabs a train and rides

When a man gets the blues lord, he grabs a train and rides

but-when a woman gets the blues honey, she hangs down her head and she cries

Was the two nineteen, that took my man away

Two Nineteen train, done took my man, took my man away

It's gonna be the two seventeen train, mm, that's gonna bring him back to

me someday
