Here's what I have gleaned from some sound samples:

TRAVELING KIND
(Steve Young)
(As sung by The Country Gentlemen)

...Listen to the wail of a southbound train.
That's a lonely sound. That's a lonely sign
I'm a lonely man at a lonely time.

The rich man has no use for me....

...the laugh's on you.
You [or "you'll"?] live and die by another man's rules.
And when we both are dead and gone,
The legend of my kind live on....
