Lonely is the sound whining through the valley

Passin' nameless towns, movin' home to you

Many years ago sweet darlin you were wavin' at the station

Thinking 'bout the time, Lord I was so close to you
A G D
Ooh, but it's hard, yes it's hard on a woman

But it's harder still on a man now babe
A G D
I just can't sink my roots down in the valley, baby
A G F
But I hope some day you'll understand darlin'

I hope you'll understand sweet babe,'bout the ways of a man.

When I hear the sound of that lonesome whistle

Deep down in my soul you know it calls for me
