[Lyric] 2:10 Train (Carolyn Hester)

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', hmm-mm-mm-mm
The sun refused to shine, hmm-mm-mm-mm
Knew my baby left me, hmm-mm
With troublin' mind
Rains ev'ry mornin', hmm-mm-mm-mm
Evenin' is the same
It's gonna be a long time, hmm-mm
'Til I hear the 2:10 train

[Verse 2]
Looked out my window, hmm-mm
I couldn't keep from cryin', hmm-mm-mm-mm
Saw the train a-leavin', hmm-mm
Carryin' my baby down the line, hmm
Driver on that engine, hmm-mm-mm-mm
He no friend of mine
He's taken all the women, hmm-mm
He's left the men behind

[Verse 3]
Won't be leavin' Big Ben, hmm-mm
For another seven years, hmm-mm-mm-mm
Don't find another baby, hmm-mm
To laugh away my tears
I get back to Houston, hmm-mm-mm-mm
Gonna shout and tell
'Bout how the Big Ben brought 'em, hmm-mm
It's a livin' burnin' hell
[Verse 4]
When your lovin' baby leaves you, hmm-mm-mm-mm
Lord, it makes you feel so bad, hmm-mm-mm-mm
Makes you think about the women, hmm-mm
The good times you've had
"Don't go and leave, baby, hmm-mm-mm-mm
All shackled to a chain
Won't you let me ride down with you, hmm-mm
All along the 2:10 train?"

[Outro]
"Won't you let me ride down with you, hmm-mm
All along the 2:10 train"
