Lyrics:

Hold your train conductor
Please don't let that engineer start
Hold your train conductor
Please don't let that engineer start
Well, I wanna ride the train this morning
Just to ease my achin' heart
Every mornin' before daybreak
Before, I get outta my bed
Every mornin' before daybreak
Before, I get outta my bed
I can hear your whistle blowin'
It almost drive me out outta my head

I'll pay my fare when I get there
I've got your money right here in my hand
I'll pay my fare when I get there
I've got your money right here in my hand
I would go back and get a ticket
But I'm afraid to take a chance
Born out in California
Old Mississippi is out of sight
I'm gonna take a trip out in California
Old Mississippi is, is outta sight
I'm gonna catch a train and ride
Where I know my baby will treat me right
