Marty Robbins - Ghost Train Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Way out west an Arizona cowboy tends the herd
  • The dessert lies beneath a sky of blue
  • Far away, in brightest day, a ghostly sound is heard
  • The phantom of the rail comes into view
  • Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
  • On his lonely ear is fallin'
  • Loud and clear, just hear that lonesome wail
  • But it's just the ghost, the phantom of the rail
  • Little did he know the train was wrecked in '84
  • After it had crossed the Great Divide
  • Every year it tries again to make it just once more
  • If only to the California Line
  • Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
  • On the barren dessert fallin'
  • Loud and clear, just hear that lonesome wail
  • But it's just the ghost, the phantom of the rail
  • Clickity-clack along the track, it's boiler showin' red
  • As on it comes along the rusty rails
  • People that are ridin' in the cars have long been dead
  • Lost in time along the Phantom Trail
  • Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
  • On the barren dessert fallin'
  • Is it real to feel the very ground beneath him shake
  • As on it comes, the only run it ever makes
  • Cross here comes the phantom, as his eyes in wonder gaze
  • His pony shys and heads in for the brush
  • And as it comes upon him terror grips his heart, amazed
  • Leapin' to avoid it's onward rush
  • Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
  • On the barren dessert fallin'
  • Thought he saw the engineer, thought he heard him once more wail
  • As on he went, forever bent, on stayin' on the ghost train rail
