I hear her calling, I think I see her now I think I hear her calling now Hear her calling now That lady of flowers And her softs spell Her sweet taste Takes me far from his place Oh and the love train The love train is in the station now In the station now
That old devil man Deep down there In his fire home Rose up knee high With his song of desire Words of deceit Dropped there at my feet Now outside my door he stands That old man of shadowAnd his shadow band For downn the thorny road Are we bound Without light Without soundAnd he's knocking On my door He says It's time we were going boy Donwn that old road of sorrow
And now he's walking There beside me That old man of shadow Now there's this girl He says you can't forsake This girl it's said You're bound to take He says The Coal Train Is due here soon Is due here soon
It'll come in time Yes it's coming soon It'll draw in close Oh no I say Not this one Not this one for that coal train Not this one For your cold coal train
I had no love For her skinny waist I had no love For her at all Just a need Just a need When she stole me Along by the roadside
And rattled the tin strings Of my body blue Oh I'm getting older now I'm getting older
Walking down that road With that old man of shadow That old man of shadow And it's growing darker now And night is ever near Night is ever near Oh here it comes again Here it comes again The Coal Train baby That Coal Train tonight The Coal Train baby The cold coal train
