On Every Train

I hear her calling, I think

I see her now

I think I hear her calling now

Hear her calling now

That lady of flowers

And her softs spell

Her sweet taste

Takes me far from his place

Oh and the love train

The love train is in the station now

In the station now



That old devil man

Deep down there

In his fire home

Rose up knee high

With his song of desire

Words of deceit

Dropped there at my feet

Now outside my door he stands

That old man of shadowAnd his shadow band

For downn the thorny road

Are we bound

Without light

Without soundAnd he's knocking

On my door

He says

It's time we were going boy

Donwn that old road of sorrow



And now he's walking

There beside me

That old man of shadow

Now there's this girl

He says you can't forsake

This girl it's said

You're bound to take

He says

The Coal Train

Is due here soon

Is due here soon



It'll come in time

Yes it's coming soon

It'll draw in close

Oh no I say

Not this one

Not this one for that coal train

Not this one

For your cold coal train



I had no love

For her skinny waist

I had no love

For her at all

Just a need

Just a need

When she stole me

Along by the roadside



And rattled the tin strings

Of my body blue

Oh I'm getting older now

I'm getting older



Walking down that road

With that old man of shadow

That old man of shadow

And it's growing darker now

And night is ever near

Night is ever near

Oh here it comes again

Here it comes again

The Coal Train baby

That Coal Train tonight

The Coal Train baby

The cold coal train
