Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

The trains are gone, the trains are gone

Spent like the coal they once rolled on

The rails don't hum, the bows don't [?]

No brake-men yodelin' those rail yard songs


[Verse 2]

Granddad's ranch dried up fast

Ol' Johnny Chisum, he's seen to that

He's seen to that, matter of fact

Just as sure as Billy-boy got slain by Pat


[Verse 3]

I know I'm young, I know I'm young

I've seen too few a settin' sun

But the more I run the changes come

Swift as a freight train, the kind that's gone


[Outro]

The trains are gone, the trains are gone

Spent like the coal they once rolled on
