Johnny Cash

Locomotive Man

Johnny Cash


I got a gal in dallas, i wave at when i go through
I got a gal in tulsa, that i toot my whistle to
(say how do)
I got 'em all over the land, i'm a locomotive man

Left my heart in omaha omaha, and i never did quite get it back
I got a sue in sioux city, waitin' by the railroad track
(keeps her money in a 'tater sack)
I got 'em all over the land, i'm a locomotive man

Well, i left a little switch engine, 'bout forty miles south of bangor maine
Couldn't keep the wheels a turnin', shouldn't try to pull my train
I got 'em all over the land, i'm a locomotive man

Well, i had a gal in jackson, and it sure broke my heart to turn her loose
When i checked my time and moved on, she's hooked on my caboose
I got 'em all over the land, i'm a locomotive man
