Well, I had the blues

But now they?re gone

I?m on a big black freight train

And we?re movin' on

I?m on a big black train and I?m movin' on

I?m on a big black train and I?ll soon be gone

Well, this big black train, it keeps movin' on

Well, if you want me, baby, better get on the track

Got a one-way ticket and I won?t be back

Well, this big black freight train

It?s movin' down the railroad track

Well, you cheated on me, baby, and you told me lies

You said that you was gonna laugh every time I cried

Well, this big black train

We?re tellin' you good bye

I?m on a big black train and I?m movin' on

I?m on a big black train and I?ll soon be gone

Well, this big black train, it keeps movin' on
