GOl Reuben made a train & he put it on a track
 He ran it to the Lord Fknows Gwhere
 Oh me, oh my ran it to the FLord knows Gwhere

Should been in town when Reuben's train went down

You could hear that whistle blow 100 miles

Oh me, oh my you could hear the whistle blow 100 miles

Last night I lay in jail had no money to go my bail

Lord how it sleeted & it snowed

Oh me, oh my Lord how it sleeted & it snowed

I've been to the East, I've been to the West

I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow

Oh me, oh my I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow

Oh the train that I ride is 100 coaches long

You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles

Oh me, oh my you can hear the whistle blow 100 miles

I got myself a blade, laid Reuben in the shade,

I'm startin' me a graveyard of my own.

Oh, me, oh lordy my, startin' me a graveyard of my own.

Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track

He ran it to the Lord knows where

Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where
