Lyric Smoke Along The Track

(Alan Rose)

One day the train was passin
I caught it comin by
To look this old world over under God s blue sky
My darlin stood there weepin as I was looking back
I kissed my baby cryin in the smoke along the track

Goodbye so long until I come back home
You ll be my dream
Goodbye so long, there s lots of places that I ve never seen
I ll always be a drifter but I ll be driftin back
To where I left you cryin in the smoke along the track

I like to keep on goin it helps me when I m blue
I get the urge to travel that s all I want to do
I just can t settle down because I like to roam
And when I hear that whistle blow I ve gotta move along

Goodbye so long there s something down the track keeps callin me
Goodbye so long I guess that s just the way I ll always be
So when I get that feelin don t try to hold me back
I d only leave you crying in that smoke along the track

I know my baby loves me I love my baby too
But he don t understand me when I m feelin blue
And when I hear that whistle blow, I hurry home and pack
And leave my baby cryin in the smoke along the track.

Goodbye, so long, I hate to leave you, but I ve got to go
Goodbye, so long, It s coming down just hear that whistle blow
It ll be here in a minute, you ll wave and I ll look back
I m gonna leave you cryin in the smoke along the track.

Goodbye so long until I come back home
You ll be my dream
Goodbye so long, there s lots of places that I ve never seen
I ll always be a drifter but I ll be driftin back
To where I left you cryin in the smoke along the track
To where I left you cryin in the smoke along the track
