Hemlock Smith Train Song lyrics

I guess the train's a-coming
I guess the train's a-coming
I see the smoke there in the sky but I hear no sound
Although I press my ear right down, down to the ground

I feel the train a-coming
I feel the train a-coming
Will my lover be on time, will she be there ?
Or is it over and my days bound to despair ?

Oh – I'm waiting for the 9 :55…
Oh – I'm waiting for the 9 :55…

I hear the train a-coming
I hear the train a-coming
The shuffle of its beat works like a charm

I know she races towards me, into my arms

I see the train a-coming
I see the engine running
But all windows of the wagon remain closed
I guess it must not be the right train, I suppose…

Oh – I'm waiting for the 9 :55…
Oh – I'm waiting for the 9 :55…

As I wait another day, the cold wind blows
As I wait another day, the cold wind blows
