Boardin’ the Train Lyrics by Coyote Run

Coyote Run Pleads the Fifth

2006

[Verse 1]
Oh, the night my father died, me friends, is a night unlike all others
He turned and said, "I've met me end and the train comes for your father"
I said, "Father, don't be a daft old man, you know we live in the hills
Far from where the train tracks run and you know we live there still"
[Chorus]
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
[Verse 2]
He said in his angry voice, my dad, "Son, don't waste my time!
Just hear that whistle blowin', lad, comе to take me home"
And surе as I stand before you now, telling you this tale
I too could hear a whistle blow where there isn't any rail
[Chorus]
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
[Verse 3]
The house it rumbled with the sound of the ghostly wheels that night
And my father spoke to an empty wall, filling me with fright
He closed his eyes for a final time and the train had rumbled off
And I was left there cryin', "Father, get back off"
[Chorus]
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
[Verse 4]
Tiarna na marbh, tiarna na marbh, tiarna na marbh, dee oh!
Tiarna na marbh, tiarna na marbh, tiarna na marbh, dee oh!
And long the years have passed me by and now I'm old and frail
And tonight I hear that whistle blow where there isn't any rail
[Chorus]
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
Boardin' the train
There's no gettin' off
