Trains Make Me Lonesome Lyrics

I was five years old when daddy started packing
And I stood there by my momma as she cried
And the next thing that we knew some old train came passing through
And daddy got on board and we ain't seen him no more
I wonder why trains make me lonesome it happens everytime that engine moans some
And when I hear that whistle blow it makes my heart sink low
And I wonder why trains make me lonesome

It was a cold dark night when I drove her to the depot
There were tears in my eyes and a ticket in her hand
And as we stood there by those tracks I knew she wasn't comin' back
So I turned and walked away but I still miss her today
I wonder why trains make me lonesome...

This office building looks like central station those ink spots look engine No 9
And this couch on which I lay suppose to haul my blues away
That old pipe you keep toking is like an old cold engine smoking
I wonder why trains make me lonesome...
Oh yes I wonder why trains make me lonesome

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
