Hank Snow - Ghost Trains lyrics
It was early in the fall and a-blowin' up a squall From the trestle you could hear the weirdest moans With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky And it chilled the very marrow in my bones Then a loud, rushing roar, like you never heard before Turned the blood to icy water in my veins As I watched with rising fear, something strange was drawing near And I saw in the clouds ghost trains Ghost trains, ghost trains, what a fearful sight The Cannonball and Number Nine were racing thru the night Just as they passed me by, I heard the engineer cry Give her coal, give her coal, shovel it on You could see the fireman grinnin', in the engine that was winnin' But I knew before the finish they'd be gone But he knew before the finish they'd be gone You could see the driver's roll as they shoveled on the coal And the black smoke came pouring from the stacks As they thundered thru the sky, I am here to testify You could hear the wheels a-clickin' on the tracks Thru the smoke and the steam, you could see the headlights gleam Now I have no proof, but still the fact remains You may doubt it, but I swear, there were cinders in my hair When I saw in the clouds ghost trains Ghost trains, ghost trains, what a fearful sight The Cannonball and Number Nine were racing thru the night Just as they passed me by, I heard the engineer cry Give her coal, give her coal, shovel it on You could see the fireman grinnin', in the engine that was winnin' As I watched I saw them fade into the dawn As he watched he saw them fade into the dawn |
