Lyrics
Hear that old train whistle
Howling in the night
If that flyer's southbound
Thing's will be all right
I'm leaving now
Leaving now, leaving now (Now-ow-ow)
I'm gonna get back home somehow
Don't nobody tell me
Baby's been untrue (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
If she's been unfaithful
I don't know what I'll do (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
I'm leaving now
Leaving now, leaving now (Now-ow-ow)
I'm gonna get back home somehow
Never thought that I could miss her, so
I never thought I could but now I know
The sound of the old train whistle
Makes me want to cry (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Reminds me of that lonely feeling
When I said goodbye (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
I'm leaving now
Leaving now, leaving now (Now-ow-ow)
I'm gonna get back home somehow
(Ahh)
Never thought that I could miss her, so
Never thought I could but now I know
The sound of the old train whistle
Makes me want to cry (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Reminds me of that lonely feeling
When I said goodbye (Ahh, ahh, ahh)
I'm leaving now
Leaving now, leaving now (Now-ow-ow)
I'm gonna get back home somehow
(Mmm-mmm, bom-bom-bom)
(Mmm-mmm, bom-bom-bom)
