[Verse 1]
On the very day I'm gone
You'll know the train I'm on
You'll hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

[Verse 2]
Well if my mama leaves
I'll go back home again
Oh I'm a rambling woman, God knows

[Verse 3]
If you say so
I'll railroad no more
Sidetrack my engine and go home

[Verse 1]
On the very day I'm gone
You'll know the train I'm on
You'll hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
