I hate that train, that they all call the M and O I hate that train, that they all call the M and O It took my baby away, and he ain't comin' back to me no more When he was leavin', I couldn't hear nothin' but that whistle blow When he was leavin', I couldn't hear nothin' but that whistle blow And the man at the throttle, Lord he wasn't comin' back no more He had his head in the window, and he was watchin' those drive wheels go He had his head in the window, and he was watchin' those drive wheels go He said I'm goin' away baby, and I ain't comin' back no more Now I'm so worried, and I'm so full of gloom I'm so worried, and I'm so full of gloom And deep down in my heart, ain't nothing but a lover's ruin I was sorry, I was sorry sorry to my heart I was sorry, I was sorry to my heart To see that M and O train, and me and my baby part
