Christmas And The Beads Of Sweat Been on a train And did you hear the whistle blow? Been on a train north Baby did you hear the whistle blow? I saw a man take a needleful of hard drug And die slow.
Been on a train And I'm never gonna be the same.
There's a bright light in the north wind Gonna bring you home Mister there's a bright light in the north wind It's gonna bring you home He said: "Sweet darling woman Leave me alone".
Been on a train And I'm never gonna be the same.
You got more tracks on you baby Than the tracks of this train You got no guts, no gospel And you got no brains He said: "I got just one thing Gonna soothe my pain?" No, no Damn you mister And I dragged him out the door Damn you mister And I dragged him out the door.
He died in the morning sun And I ain't going north no more.
I suspect there's a train Going north in a month or two I still hear his words He said: "There's nothing left to say or do" But mister you were wrong And I'm gonna sing my song for you.
