Jim,

This is what I transcribed a while back- corrections are welcome:

TRAIN ON THE ISLAND
(J.P. Nestor)

Train on the island, since I heard it squeal
Go tell my true love, I can't hold the wheel
I can't roll the wheel, love, it's I can't hold the wheel.

Thought he heard it blow love, He thought he heard it blow

Train on the island, since I heard it blow
Go tell my true love, sick and I can't go………sick, and I can't go,
(instrumental) and I can't roll the wheel

Train on the island, since I've heard it squeal
Go tell my true love, how happy I do feel
Thought he heard it blow, love, Thought he heard it blow

Train on the island, since I've heard it blow
Go tell my true love, long as I can go
Long as I can go

Lord, he thought he heard it blow

Train on the island, since I've heard it blow
Go tell my true love, sick and I can't go
Sick, and I can't go, love, sick and I can't go

Thought he heard it blow, love, Thought he heard it blow
