Smoke Along The Track Lyrics

(Alan Rose)

One day the train was passin` 
I  caught it comin` by 
To look this old world over under God`s blue  sky 
My  darlin` stood there weepin` as  I was looking back 
I kissed my baby cryin` in the  smoke along the track 

Goodbye so long until I come back home 
You`ll be my  dream 
Goodbye so long, there`s lots of places that I`ve never  seen 
I`ll always be a drifter but  I`ll be driftin`  back 
To where I left you cryin` in the  smoke along the  track 

I like to keep on goin` it helps me when I`m blue 
I get the urge to travel  that`s all I want to do 
I just can`t settle down because I like to roam 
And when I hear that whistle blow  I`ve gotta move along 

Goodbye  so long  there`s something down the track keeps callin` me 
Goodbye  so long  I guess that`s just the way I`ll always be 
So when I get that feelin` don`t try to hold me back 
I`d only leave you crying in that smoke along the track 

I know my baby loves me  I love my baby too 
But he don`t understand me when I`m feelin`  blue 
And when I hear that whistle blow, I hurry home and pack 
And leave my baby cryin` in the smoke along the track. 

Goodbye, so long, I hate to leave you, but I`ve got to go 
Goodbye, so long, It`s coming down  just hear that whistle blow 
It`ll be here in a minute, you`ll wave and I`ll look back 
I`m gonna leave you cryin` in the smoke along the track. 

Goodbye so long until I come back home 
You`ll be my  dream 
Goodbye so long, there`s lots of places that I`ve never  seen 
I`ll always be a drifter but  I`ll be driftin`  back 
To where I left you cryin` in the  smoke along the  track 
To where I left you cryin` in the  smoke along the  track
