If you see the train I'm on
Wave to me goodbye
But don't you shed
No tears on account of me
You know I hate to see you cry

Sometimes a train sounds lonesome
Sometimes it sounds soft and low
But every time I hear an old train whistle blow
It always makes me wanna get up and go

If you ever think about me
Now should I ever cross your mind
Remember I'm a-coming back for you
Oh it's only a matter of time

If you see the train I'm on

But don't you shed no tears on account of me
Oh I hate to see you cry
