Lyrics
I've been waiting on the train
Been waiting such a long time baby
I've been waiting for the train
To carry me away
Ain't know use to ask why
Well there ain't no use to hang your head and cry
I've been waiting for the train
To carry me away
I've been waiting such a long time baby now
Watch them come and go
STill I know that I'll be waiting somehow
Waiting till the lights are low, so
I've been waiting on the train
Been waiting such a long time baby
I've been waiting for the train
To carry me away
Ain't know use to ask why
Well there ain't no use to hang your head and cry
I've been waiting for the train
To carry me away
