Irene Kelley - Coal Train

I saw a coal train rolling slowly through the city and it made me think about my old hometown
My father and his father and the kinfolk after work the afternoon sun was going down

Coal train, coal train

Won't you take me with you down the track coal train, coal train
Before all these memories fade to black you're all that I've got left to take me back

I saw a coal train rolling slowly through the city and it made me realize how far I've come
The loved ones that I've lost and the way of life I miss

There in the town where I come from

I saw a coal train rolling slowly through the city like something from another place and time nobody saw me stand and shed a tear
For those old mountains of mine
