this song was sung wayback by Frankie Lane and I think there was a folky version in the 90's.

There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
And it's the only train left for me to ride on
I'll catch that lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
I'll get my ticket now for my last time

They say the life of man is made up of four seasons
And springtime finds him young and planting his grain
And then the summer comes bringing warm rains of reason
And time to reap his crop of heartache and pain

Though you've got no reason to go there
And there ain't a soul that you know there
Listen, as the 3:10 to Yuma issues it's sad refrain
Take that train
Take that train

The winter comes, finds him snow-cropped and laden
He has been humbled now, walking into the rain
But the rains of death never fall from the cloudless skies of Yuma
Time stand still for those on that 3.10 train

There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
And it's the only train left for me to ride on
I'll catch that lonely train called the 3.10 to yuma
I'll get my ticket now for my last time



That is purportedly Sandy Denny's version

I think these are the lyrics sung by Frankie Laine. They agree with several sound samples I listened to.

Copied from http://www.completealbumlyrics.com/lyric/123834/Frankie+Laine+-+The+3.10+To+Yuma.html:

3.10 TO YUMA
George Duning, Ned Washington

I want to ride again on the 3.10 to Yuma.
That's where I saw my love, the girl with the golden hair.
Not a word between us was spoken.
No, the silence never was broken,
But before she left, her eyes said a sad goodbye.
Sad am I.
Sad am I
To think of the chance that I missed.
I could cry,
To think of the lips left unkissed.

Perhaps she'll ride again on the 3.10 to Yuma,
And I can meet my love and tell her how much I care.
Though I have no reason to go there,
And there's not a soul that I know there,
When the 3.10 to Yuma leaves, if I have the fare,
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
