Add these to your collection:

Them long steel rails with short crossties
Gonna carry me far from home.
That lonesome track gonna take me back
Where a man calls his soul his own.

You slighted me once. You slighted me twice.
You'll never slight me no more.
You caused me to weep. You caused me to mourn.
You caused me to leave my home.

Oh, don't you hear them mourning doves
That fly from pine to pine,
Mourning for their own true love,
Just like I mourn for mine?

The tune is modified for the third one - goes higher on the second line.
