"Reuben's Train" lyrics

Reuben had a train and he road it down the line,
Road it to god knows where.
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my,
Road it to god knows where.

You should have been in town,
When old Reuben's train went down.
You could hear the whistle blow from miles around.
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my,
You could hear the whistle blow from miles around.

Reuben down and low, he got no place to go.
He's been running round them train tracks all his days.
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my,
Been running round them train tracks all his day's.
 
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my.
 
So he got himself a blade, laid old Reuben in the shade.
Said he's gonna start a grave yard of his own.
Oh Lordy me, oh Lordy my, he's gonna start a grave yard of his own...
