I'm down, I've been twisted around
Ever since I read that log
that the stationmaster found
Singing bye bye baby, hello love
I can't change the words
there on the sign
And say that you would never mind
So I just thank you for the time
Singing bye -bye, baby
Hello, love
Morning's coming to go
I used to say that was the only time
That I don't feel alone
Now I do
Sure enough, things changed
And it all made well on you
And maybe it gets used and wrong
How often things that come and freeze
I guess it don't mean you and me,
there's two for you
and none for me, that's wrong
Another darlin' waits out there
with fancy clothes and shiny hair
I hear the engine changing gear,
you're gone
Oh, just stick around,
don't let me down
Wait until you come around,
until another darlin ''s found
Singin' bye -bye, baby
Hello, love
Get those workin' boots back on your feet
And get those boots out on the street
And make that empty discomplete
Singin' bye -bye, baby
Hello, love
Well, I'll tell you why I
don't ride trains
Railroad tracks just go a while away
No return, won't come back again
When it rains, I feel the pain
Of knowin' that the fireman
keeps the coal fire burnin'
My, my, Birdie
My, my, Birdie
