The Trains Are Gone letra

The trains are gone, the trains are gone
Spent like the coal they once rolled on
The rails don't hum, the 'bos don't bunk
No brake-men yodelin' those rail yard songs

Granddad's ranch dried up fast
Ol' Johnny Chisum, he's seen to that
He's seen to that, matter of fact
Just as sure as Billy-boy got slain by Pat

I know I'm young, I know I'm young
I've seen too few a settin' sun
But the more I run the changes come
Swift as a freight train, the kind that's gone

The trains are gone, the trains are gone
Spent like the coal they once rolled on
