It seems that they plan to do a tour of Newfoundland soon. I haven't heard of Roy for years but it's good to see him return to action! Roy Payne |

Perhaps PHJim will pick up this thread. Guest, if you join Mudcat, easy and free, you could send a personal message (PM) to PHJim. |

But the trains never stop at Kingston Prison Mama They just keep right on passing by No the trains never stop at Kingston Prison Mama Nothing stops in Kingston but time. I can almost see that headlight shining through the trees Turning night back into day again Lord in this place the days and nights are all the same to me I wish I was riding on that train. But the trains... I bet you'll find some guitar pickin' Newfies on that train Gettin' drunk and singing all the way. Tomorrow night they'll board that William Carson, almost home, I wish I was riding on that train. But the trains... This is as close as I can remember and it's how I sing it. I hope it's accurate, but I haven't heard Roy sing it for 30 some odd years. |

That's the last verse |
