Lyrics
Go on let s ride, on that distant lonesome train, oh i hear those drums out in the field
go on let s ride
On that distant lonesome train, oh i hear those drums out in the field
on that distant lonesome train
On a traveling cannonball, crying out in pain
When i hear that cold wind howl, on that distant lonesome train
On a traveling cannonball, her spirit calls me from the barren ground, on that distant lonesome train
On a traveling cannonball, oh i hear those drums out in the field, well the devil is my driver
on the distant lonesome train
So take me down to the gates of hell, so take me down to the gates of hell Distant, on a traveling cannonball
oh that distant lonesome train
Crying out in pain, oh i hear my baby s voice call my name, so lay her down
when i hear that cold wind howl
Oh i hear my baby s voice call my name, go on let s ride, on that distant lonesome train
oh that distant lonesome train
On that distant lonesome train, on that distant lonesome train
Oh i hear those drums out in the field, oh i hear those drums out in the field
Her spirit calls me from the barren ground, go on let s ride, when i hear that cold wind howl
Burning coal turns to flame, oh that distant lonesome train, on a traveling cannonball
So lay her down, pouring rain
on that distant lonesome train
go on let s ride
on that distant lonesome train
When i hear that cold wind howl, a passenger without a name
on a traveling cannonball
oh that distant lonesome train
So take me down to the gates of hell, well the devil is my driver Train, on that distant lonesome train
