When I hear that cold wind howl

Midnight, pouring rain

Oh I hear my baby’s voice call my name
G A E
On that distant lonesome train

Crying out in pain
E A
Her spirit calls me from the barren ground
G A E
On that distant lonesome train

Well the devil is my driver

Burning coal turns to flame

On that distant lonesome train
