Milk Train lyrics

There was a morning train used to come on through

When this sleepy town was alive

And ev'ry Sunday we would come and see

Some mighty fancy people arrive

Oh, they arrived aboard the milk train

There was a well-dressed lady from the city

Used to always give me her smile

And she looked so fine, she was sweet and kind

She let me get to know her a while

Oh, for a little while

Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't stop by here anymore

Now I still live in that railroad shack

And I wander down that rusty old track

Like a lonely old-timer, out of my mind

Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me

When the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore

Now the only thing to come on through

Is a Jimmy-John now and then

And I dream of the day she'll come back this way

And let me get to know her again

Oh, like way back when

Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore

Oh, the milk train used to rumble my shack

Used to stop outside o' my door

But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore
