The Longest Train by J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers

J.E. Mainer - The Longest Train; With J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers.

The longest train I ever saw was the day I left my home
The engine had passed the six-mile post and the cab had never left town

REFRAIN: Look up, look down that lonesome road where you and I must go
To the pines, to the pines, where the sun never shines, where I shiver when the cold wind blows

The prettiest little girl I ever saw was walking down the line
Her cheek was painted rosy red and her hair hung down behind

REFRAIN: Look up, look down that lonesome road where you and I must go
To the pines, to the pines, where the sun never shines, where I shiver when the cold wind blows

That train run back four mile from town, and killed my girl, you know
Her head was found in the driver wheel, her body I never could find

REFRAIN: Look up, look down that lonesome road where you and I must go
To the pines, to the pines, where the sun never shines, where I shiver when the cold wind blows
