Thread Name: Lyr/Chords/Origin: Train on the Island
Subject: RE: Lyr origin: Train on the Island
In her old age country music pioneer Aunt Samantha Bumgarner sang a version of this called "Way Down on the Island" on a Riverside compilation called "Banjo Songs" (I think). Unless somebody beats me to it (busy schedule over the next week or two) I'll try and dig it out.

PS I always understood Nestor to be singing "I can't roll the wheel," but could be wrong.
