about

From the great Kentucky singer Addie Graham (1890-1978). The recording "Been a Long Time Traveling," is a wonderful album of songs by a great singer.

lyrics

I hear that train a-coming
Bending round the curve
With the old car wheels a-rolling boys
She's straining every nerve.

I won’t work on the railroad
I won’t work on the farm
But I’ll lie right round til the paycar comes
I’ll roll in mama’s arms.

I hear that train a-coming
She’s running so slow
Hear that she’s a-coming boys
And I am bound to go.

I hear that train a-coming
Running up the track
She’s just from Kansas City boys
And now she’s going back.

I hear that train a-coming
Bending round the curve
With the old car wheels a-rolling boys
She's straining every nerve.
