Reuben’s Train Lyrics by Sam Doores, Riley Downing, The Tumbleweeds

Holy Cross Blues

2012

[Verse 1]
Well, this train I ride on
Don't it go too long
Nine hundred miles from my home
But if that train rolls right
Be home tomorrow night
Nine hundred miles from my home
[Verse 2]
Lord, I'm walkin' down these tracks
Got tears in my eyes
Tryin' to read a letter from my home
But if that train rolls right
Be home tomorrow night
Nine hundred miles from my home
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
That you, Reuben
That you, Reuben
Where have you been so long
It's me, darlin'
It's me, darlin'
Where have I been so long
[Bridge]
Well, what became of your fancy shoеs
Dress you wore so fine
Got my shoеs from that railroad boy
Dress from a driver in the mine
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Well, I pawn you my watch
I pawn you my chain
Pawn you my fancy diamond ring
This train I ride on
Don't it go too long
I'm a long lonesome ways from my home
