Last Train From Maine (Larry W Jones 09/12/2013) (song#6749) I’m riding the last train from Maine On rails that must be worn and old This boxcar’s rolling through the rain Ain’t no consoling from the cold Us hobos are never welcome We’re forever in ragged clothes I’m riding the last train from Maine Rolling south where the warm wind blows I know every hobo jungle All down from Maine to New Orleans My bedroll is in a jumble My socks have stains that can’t be seen There’s a big black locomotive On the boiler is number one I’m riding the last train from Maine Rolling south toward a warmer sun (instrumental) I’m riding the last train from Maine On rails that must be worn and old This boxcar’s rolling through the rain Ain’t no consoling from the cold Us hobos are never welcome We’re forever in ragged clothes I’m riding the last train from Maine Rolling south where the warm wind blows Other hobos will be waiting When this long freight train comes around I can tell by the wheels grating Throttle’s back and we’re slowing down This ride has covered much terrain From up north where I nearly froze I’m riding the last train from Maine Rolling south wearing summer clothes (instrumental) I’m riding the last train from Maine On rails that must be worn and old This boxcar’s rolling through the rain Ain’t no consoling from the cold Us hobos are never welcome We’re forever in ragged clothes I’m riding the last train from Maine Rolling south where the warm wind blows I’m riding the last train from Maine Rolling south where the warm wind blows Kingwood Kowboy
