Long Black Train - Oh Susanna

Always said to leave the light on

Always said you would come home

Now it’s just me and our little baby

And this heart cold as a stone

When I saw the officers coming

Then I knew you were gone

Then I saw nothing but that long black train rolling home

When we first met we were in high school

Your eyes they burned into my soul

You placed your ring on my little finger

Then we both knew you had to go

When you flew into the mountains

Did you look into the sun?

Did you know you’d be riding on that long black train rolling home?

When you flew into the night, I felt her kicking inside of me

But now she’s here and you are gone I’m as lonesome as somebody could be

But now I look at our baby daughter

Does she know there’s something wrong?

Does she know that she has no father?

Does she know that it’s you that I mourn?

Will she miss her sisters that never were born?

Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home?

Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home?

On that long black train rolling home

On that long black train rolling home
