Standing by the railroad,
waiting for a train I'm gonna catch that midnight train and never come back again
It's a lonesome feeling, sand mountain blue
I went to the gypsy just to hear
what she would say
She said, that girl don't love you
and you better be on your way
You're gonna be sorry for
breaking my heart
I don't know where to go,
any old place will do I'm leavin' old
Sand
Mountain, just gettin' away from you
You're gonna be sorry for
breakin' my heart
There's other girls around here
and I could love them too
But every time I saw you it'd
make me sad and blue
It's a lonesome feeling,
sand mountain blue
When it makes you lonesome to
hear that train -train blow
Then you will know I'm ridin'
but I didn't want you to go
It's a lonesome feelin'
sand mountain blue
When it's rainin' on
Sand
Mountain, and rainin' kinda slow
Then maybe you'll remember
and hate to make me go
You're gonna be sorry for
breakin' my heart
I am just a poor boy, and work's my middle name I guess that's why you said goodbye,
but I love you just the same
And you're going to be
sorry for breaking my heart
If you ever need me,
then maybe I'll come back
I hear that train a -coming,
it's humming down the track
It's a lonesome feeling, sand mountain blue
