There was a morning train used to come on through When this sleepy town was alive And ev'ry Sunday we would come and see Some mighty fancy people arrive Ooohh, they arrived aboard the milk train (La-la-la-la-la-la la) There was a well dressed lady from the city Used to always give me her smile And she looked so fine, she was sweet and kind She let me get to know her a while Ooohh, for a little while Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't stop by here anymore (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) Now I still live in that railroad shack And I wander down that rusty old track Like a lonely old-timer out of my mind Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) Now the only thing to come on through Is a Jimmy-John now and then And I dream of the day she'll come back this way And let me get to know her again Ooohh, like way back when When the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
