Smoke Along the Track

Recorded by Stonewall Jackson Written by Alan Rose and Don Helms G C G One day the train was passin', I caught it comin' by D To look this old world over under God's blue sky G C G My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was lookin' back D G I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track. G C G Goodbye, so long, un- til I come back home, you'll be my dream D Goodbye, so long, there's lots of places that I've never seen G C G I'll always be a drifter, but I'll be driftin' back D G 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 know 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 cryin' in the smoke along the track. I know my baby loves me, I love my baby too But she 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 comin', I just heard 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.
