Well, old Reuben had a train
Put it on the track
He ran it to God knows where
Oh, Lordy me
Oh, Lordy my
He ran it to God knows where
Well, old Reuben came to town
Just as the sun went down
The shirt on his back was all he owned
So I took my razor blade
Lit old Reuben in the shade
And I started me a graveyard of my own
Oh, Lordy me
Oh, Lordy my
Started me a graveyard of my own
Oh, Lordy me
So I'm walking down that track
I got tears in my eyes
I'm trying to read a letter from my heart
If this train runs me right
I'll be home tomorrow
Oh, Lordy me
Oh, Lordy my
I'm 900 miles from my home
Oh, Lordy me
Oh, Lordy my
I'm 900 miles from my home
Oh, Lordy me
