《The Coming And The Going Of The Trains》歌词

[00:00:05] (歌手独白)

[00:00:43]

[00:00:53] I am just an Indian and once this was my land

[00:01:00] Now it's been taking from me by the coming of a white man

[00:01:07] And the anger makes my blood run hot and heavy in my veins

[00:01:15] Everytime I think about the coming of the trains

[00:01:22] The day was hot and dusty in the year of sisty-nine

[00:01:29] As we heard the whistle blowing somewhere down the line

[00:01:38] That was the year I rode with frank and jesse james

[00:01:44] As we waited for the coming and the going of the trains

[00:01:52] The drought hit west Texas the ground was cracked and dry

[00:01:59] We just had to have some water or our crops would surely die

[00:02:06] The railroad shipped this water till we finally got some rain

[00:02:14] And I thanked God for the coming and the going of the trains

[00:02:24] I lived behind these iron bars I'm a prisoner doing time

[00:02:31] And I've heard that midnight freight pass at least the thousand times

[00:02:39] And I spent my time a walking to the door and back again

[00:02:46] And marking down the coming and the going of the trains

[00:02:54] I've always been an engineer and trains're all I know

[00:03:01] Ah they don't want me anymore and they say that I'm too old

[00:03:08] But my cabin at the crossing sorta helps to ease my pain

[00:03:16] For I just had to feel the coming and the going of the trains

[00:03:23] The trucks and planes're faster now and the railroad is too slow

[00:03:30] And they just came and told me that my railroad has to go

[00:03:38] The hands that built the railroad through sweat and blood and pain

[00:03:45] Will sign the final papers of the going of the trains

[00:03:53] And I have seen the coming and the going of the trains
