"Whistle and the Steam"
roll train roll
roll on down the line
the with the destination
anywhere is fine
I had to leave my woman
couldn't take anymore
of her cheatin' & lyin'
nothing but a
looking out the window
at the pouring rain
I see the reflection
of a man going insane
I need a drink
a line of cocaine
something to make me forget
the hurt and the pain
she was my Goddess
she was my Queen
now all I have
is the whistle and the steam
One of the great....my baby's leaving on the train...songs, a true classic.
You cannot have a "Greatest" "Definitive" "Essential" blues CD without that on it.
But when it comes to the hillbillie side of things, this is THE ..my baby's leaving on a train...song. And this is the first of the great white blues singers.
