Train Don't Roll Here

Granny's 12 Gauge, Copyright 1997.
 

That train doesn't roll here anymore

That train doesn't roll here anymore

They've taken up the track and they ain't a-comin' back

That train doesn't roll here anymore
 
 

Granny said the boat arrived in 1893

Those steel rails they brought her here directly from the sea

Let me tell you this my friends believe me it's no lie

Those steel rails that brought her here have left us here to die
 
 

Train don't roll here, train don't roll here

Train don't roll here, anymore
 
 

I went down to the depot it was quiet as a grave

Just to waste my time away I walked out on that grade

I thought I heard a whistle ridin' on a lonesome wind

I told myself that train was never comin' back again
 
 

Train don't roll here, train don't roll here

Train don't roll here,anymore
 
 

Momma said "son put those crazy dreams off to the side"

"You'll never see that train again as long as you're alive"

Well then when I die just box me up and mark my ticket well

Put me on the first freight train headin' down to hell
 
 

Train don't roll here, train don't roll here

Train don't roll here, anymore
 
 

That train doesn't roll here anymore

That train doesn't roll here anymore

They've taken up the track and they ain't a-comin' back

That train doesn't roll here anymore
