TWO TEN TRAIN Words and music by Linda Albertano & Tom Campbell (c) 1965 Famous Music, ASCAP
Well I woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine I knew my baby left me with a troublin' mind It rains every mornin', Mmmm, and evening's the same And it's gonna be a long time 'til I hear the Two Ten Train
Well I looked out my window and I couldn't keep from cryin. I saw the train a leavin' take my baby down the line The driver on that engine, he ain't no friend of mine He's taken all the women and he's left the men behind
Well I won't be leavin' Big Bend for another seven years Don't you find another baby to laugh away your tears When I get back to Houston, Mmmm, I'm gonna shout and tell 'Bout how the Big Bend Bottom is a livin' burnin' hell
When your lovin' baby leaves you, Lord, it makes you feel so bad Makes you think about the women and the good times you've had Don't leave me down here, baby, all shackled to a chain Won't you let me ride down with you all on the Two Ten Train.
