Graveyard Train Lyrics by Wild Ponies

Radiant

2016

Way down in Texas where the libel grows
There’s a nine river lays there
Wrapped between the marble and stone
Don’t stand in front of that headlamp shine
Nothing gets in the way of the Santa Fe line
Here it comes winding through the tombstones
Then the train rolls through and rattles them bones

Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh

You can hear the rumble
You can feel the ground quake
Leaves starts to rustle and the tombstones shake
Off in the distance you can hardly tell
If it’s the moan or the whistle or the banshee hail
Don’t get caught after dark alone
When the train goes through and rattles them bones

Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh

When you ride that train through Texas
In the middle of the night
Just outside of Dallas
You better hold on tight
Cause the folks near there don’t get no rest
Then they crossed their hands upon their chest
Awakes their tired and weary soul
Then the train rolls through and rattles them bones

Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh

Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh

Way down in Texas where the libel grows
There’s a nine river lays there
Wrapped between the marble and stone
Don’t stand in front of that headlamp shine
Nothing gets in the way of the Santa Fe line
Here it comes winding through the tombstones
Then the train rolls through and rattles them bones

Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh

Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh

Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh-ohhh
Ohhh ohhh

Then the train rolls through and rattles them bones
The train rolls through and rattles them bones
The train rolls through and rattles them bones
