Big Black Train Songtext
von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

Well, I had the blues
But now they? re gone
I? m on a big black freight train
And we? re movin′ on

I? m on a big black train and I? m movin' on
I? m on a big black train and I? ll soon be gone
Well, this big black train, it keeps movin′ on


Well, if you want me, baby, better get on the track
Got a one-way ticket and I won? t be back
Well, this big black freight train
It? s movin' down the railroad track

Well, you cheated on me, baby, and you told me lies
You said that you was gonna laugh every time I cried
Well, this big black train
We? re tellin' you good bye

I? m on a big black train and I? m movin′ on
I? m on a big black train and I? ll soon be gone
Well, this big black train, it keeps movin′ on
