Well I woke up this morning woah-oh
And the sun refused to shine
I knew I'd leave my baby woah-oh
With a troublin' mind
It rains every morning woah-oh
And evening is the same
And it's gonna be a long time woah-oh
'Til I hear the 2:10 train
Well I looked out my window Woah-oh
And I couldn't keep from cryin'
I knew the old 2:10 Woah-oh
Would take me down the line
That driver on that engine Woah-oh
Well he ain't no friend of mine
He's taken all the women Woah-oh
And he's left the men behind
Well now he won't be leaving Big Ben Woah-oh
For another seven years
I'm gonna find another baby Woah-oh
To laugh away my tears
When I get back to Houston woah-oh
I'm gonna shout and tell
Of how the Big Ben bought 'em Woah-oh
It's a living burning hell
Now when your lovin' baby leaves you Woah-oh
Don't you feel so bad
It makes you think about the good times Woah-oh
With the one time man you've had
He's crying don't leave me here baby
Shackled to a chain
But let me ride down with you woah-oh
Along the 2:10 train
