The Deslondes & Sam Doores - Reuben's Train Lyrics

The Deslondes & Sam Doores Lyrics

"Reuben's Train"

Well, this train I ride on
Don't it go too long
Nine hundred miles from my home
But if that train rolls right
Be home tomorrow night
Nine hundred miles from my home

Lord, I'm walkin' down these tracks
Got tears in my eyes
Tryin' to read a letter from my home
But if that train rolls right
Be home tomorrow night
Nine hundred miles from my home

That you, Reuben
That you, Reuben
Where have you been so long
It's me, darlin'
It's me, darlin'
Where have I been so long

Well, what became of your fancy shoes
Dress you wore so fine
Got my shoes from that railroad boy
Dress from a driver in the mine

Well, I pawn you my watch
I pawn you my chain
Pawn you my fancy diamond ring
This train I ride on
Don't it go too long
I'm a long lonesome ways from my home
