Loneliness has called my name Tracked me down Caused me lots of pain Oh the days don't seem the same Since loneliness called my name She left me on a southbound train Packed her suitcase, i cried in vain And as i asked for one chance more The engineer said all aboard For the lonely ones All aboard for loves discarded ones It's a one way ticket friends Where the heartache never ends All aboard The steam filled the southern sky It enveloped me as i said goodbye Then the steam turned to rain The one i love is on that southbound train I followed those lonesome old tracks home With every step my thoughts did roam And as i lie awake in bed Lonely echoes danced in my head The steam filled the southern sky It enveloped me as i said goodbye And as i asked for one chance more The engineer said all aboard All aboard All aboard All aboard
