"Little Train" lyrics - CODY JINKS

Little train, little train just a rollin' down the track
Little train, little train ain't even lookin' back
Little train, little train you're carryin' my heart away
Little train, I'm singin' you a mournful song
My hands in the air till the black smoke's gone
Little train I won't be seein' you too soon

I hear you're headed out west, mind the weather's been bad
Watch the floods in the canyon, lift the mud from the tracks
Little train don't you know it's dangerous out there
Tell your shotgun rider there's a beef on the loose
But an extra gun on the old caboose
Little train make sure my baby's safe and sound

Roll on, little engine, roll on down the line
You're carryin' my baby away
And I'll cry to the four winds until your safe return
When you bring back my baby to stay
Won't you make her stay?

When her business is done won't you call her on back
Won't you let a long whistle out your old smokestack
Little train, I'm afraid that city's caught her eye
Little train, little train don't you go too fast
Don't you go too slow just keep her on track
Little train won't you flash your headlights when you're near

Roll on, little engine, roll on back down the line
You're carryin' my baby away
I cried out to the four winds until your safe return
When you bring back my baby to stay
No never take her away

Little train, little train just a rollin' down the track
Little train, little train ain't even lookin' back
Little train, little train you're carryin' my heart away
Little train, I'm singin' you a mournful song
With my hands in the air till the black smoke's gone
Little train I won't be seein' you too soon
