Did you ever see the likes, since you been born The people keep a comin but the train done gone And Johnny come down to hilo My old man Explanation: The train is a camel train bound for glory. hilo is a poker game and my old man is a reference to Methuselah Or possibly the line about the train is just part of a travelling verse, put there for the rhythm, and asking what it means is like asking what "strata-latta latta bob ba latta bob ba linktum" means.
