GUEST,Jonathan Hewlett Origins: Wreck of the 1262/1256 (50) The Longest Train 24 Oct 07


Hi, Me again,
anybody want lyrics to the song, The Longest Train, well, I listened
to a record by RCA Victor called, ''The Railroad in Folksong,'' and
I listened carefully and wrote down the words, and I just thought you
dudes might like it.

The Longest Train (Recorded by J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers.)

The Longest train I every saw,
was the day I left my home.
The engine had left at 6 o'clock,
and the driver never left town

Look up, look down the lonesome road,
where you, and I must go.
To the pines, to the pines, where the sun never shines,
Where I shiver when the cold wind blows.

The prettiest little girl I ever saw,
was walking down the line.
Her cheeks was painted rosy red,
and her hair hung down behind.


Look up, look down the lonesome road,
where you, and I must go.
To the pines, to the pines, where the sun never shines,
Where I shiver when the cold wind blows.

The train, run bad 4 miles from town,
and killed my girl you know.
her head was found in the driver wheel,
and her body I never could find.


Look up, look down the lonesome road,
where you, and I must go.

                                  Thank You
