Subject: Little Red Caboose Behind the Train
Yep, I tried the DT. I even search "caboose" to make sure.

THis song, to the tune of Little Old Log Cabin on the Lane, Little Old Sod Cabin", and the thirty or forty other cousins of that song, is a railway song about an aging railroadman. I remember some lines such as "My arms are getting weary and my eyes are getting dim. I cannot read the signals any more" The recurrent line is, "That little red caboose behind the train".

Does anyone have access to the words?

The melody is running through my head and I would love to play it when I get together with some friends later this week but I don't know enough lyric.
