Lyrics

My baby, she left me early this mornin'.
Just, I didn't get a chance to cry.
Well, I just ain't got nowhere to go.
Well, when you hear the train whistle blowin'.
Mmm, I don't know.

You know the train is on its way.
Sing about it...
You know the train is on its way.
Sing about it...
You know the train is on its way.
Sing about it...
You know the train is on its way.
Long on the delta...

I'm gone...

I'm gone...

Well, I was gonna yell at the rest, but...
I won't have to yell.
I can't stop crying...
Will it be all right?

Well, I was gonna yell at the rest, but...
I won't have to yell.
I can't stop crying...
Never left...

Song Production Information

SLAKE

This is a techno-ish NU JAZZ song, with an irregular four-beat rhythm gradually building up. Although the middle aged man's bluesy voice is subdued and cool, I've used his voice in too many songs, so I'm treated as a pervert.

Video Production Information

F-FLY

I personally like SLAKE's songs, so I think the brilliant F-FLY movie stands out, sorry.
It seems he used the middle aged man's voice too much and is treated as a pervert, but does he have a voice fetish? Hotaru reluctantly agrees. Let's use him more.
