By a lonely railroad station
A dog sits patiently
And as each train rolls down the track
He watches eagerly
But the one that he is waiting for
Does not come off the train
And when the crowds have gone their way
He drops his head again
Cause he doesn't know his master lay
On the battle field to die
He didn't hear the soldier say
Rusty it's goodbye
It's many months now since the day
He saw his master go
A figure clad in khaki
Is one he'll always know
But the lonely dog keeps waiting
For each long days the same
He longs to see his masters face
And hear him call his name
Repeat Chorus
Rusty he'll not see again
The pal he's waiting for
Their happy days together
Gone forever more
The station master sees him there
And knows why he's alone
Although he can't replace his lost
He treats him as his own
Repeat chorus
