Distant Lonesome Train lyrics

When I hear that cold wind howl Midnight, pouring rain Oh I hear my baby’s voice call my name On that distant lonesome train Oh I hear those drums out in the field Crying out in pain Her spirit calls me from the barren ground On that distant lonesome train Well the devil is my driver Burning coal turns to flame So take me down to the gates of hell On that distant lonesome train On a traveling cannonball A passenger without a name So lay her down, go on let’s ride On that distant lonesome train On a distant lonesome train On the distant lonesome train Oh that distant lonesome train, yeah
