I was looking at a song in Bert Casey's Bluegrass Fakebook entitled, "Like A Train." It's listed as traditional-Never heard of it. Does anyone know anything about it?

LIKE A TRAIN (traditional?)

I was a loner, Lord I didn't care,
Where my next home was, I did not know where.
I had nobody for to call my friend,
I'll not pass this way again.

Chorus: Like a Train that's rollin' down the railroad
Like a Train that's rollin' down the track,
I'm leavin' here to find my destination,
I'm leavin' here ain't never comin' back.
