lyrics

You ought to been uptown, when old Ruben’s train come down
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Old Ruben had a train, run from England to Spain
But he couldn’t get no letter from his home

If you don’t believe I’m gone, watch this train that I crawl on
Lord I’m nine hundred miles away from home

I’m nine hundred miles away from my wife and my child
Lord I wish I was nine hundred more

If this train runs right, we’ll get home about daylight
Lord I’m nine hundred miles away from home

Old Ruben went to town and the police knocked him down
You could hear that boy holler a hundred miles

Old Ruben got killed on that C and O line
And his poor body has never been found

They found his head in the driver’s wheel
About a mile and a half from town
