(Alan Rose, Don Helms)



One day the train was passing, I caught it comin' by

To look this old world over, under God's blue sky

My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was lookin' back

I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track



Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave 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 know I just can't settle down because I like to roam

And when I hear that whistle blow I gotta move along



Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track



I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too

But she don't understand me when I'm feelin' blue

And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home to pack

And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track



Chorus:

Bye, bye, so long, there's something down the track

It's callin' me

Bye, bye, so long, I guess that's just the way

I'll always be

Now when I get this feelin'

Don't try to hold me back

I'll only leave you cryin'

In the smoke along the track
