High Noon To Yuma (Larry W. Jones 07/16/2009) (song#5918)

A ten-wheel Baldwin called the High Noon to Yuma
Rolls the western rails with a mournful huffing sigh
It’s said you see a legend that’s less than human
When you see the High Noon to Yuma rolling by

Longhorns at the siding dying from lack of rain
Don’t even know there’s buzzards circling way up high
The High Noon to Yuma is a fast flying train
Trying to catch up with ghost riders in the sky

Take care if the High Noon to Yuma’s your concern
Those rails to Yuma carries tales men can’t explain
Go tell your next of kin that you might not return
Cowboy, think twice ’bout the High Noon to Yuma train

That town’s a stop on the rails to Petaluma
Now, don’t take me wrong for the words I speak thereof
But if you’re bound to ride the High Noon to Yuma
Leave behind your belongings and the one you love

It’s said you see a legend that’s less than human
That locomotive might just disappear for good
If you set your sights on the High Noon to Yuma
Cowboy, you’ll ride rails of steel not quite understood

A ten-wheel Baldwin called the High Noon to Yuma
Rolls the western rails with a mournful huffing sigh
It’s said you see a legend that’s less than human
When you see the High Noon to Yuma rolling by

High Noon to Yuma
High Noon to Yuma
Cowboy, think twice about the High Noon to Yuma
When you see the High Noon to Yuma rolling by
