The longest train
I ever seen
It went down the Georgia Line
Well, I'm wondering when it's gonna bring
To bring that friend of mine

Well, the train I ride
The train I ride
Sixteen coaches long
Well, I'm wondering when it's gonna bring
To bring my babe back home

That smokestack lightning
That smokestack lightning
She's shining just like gold
But at first, it comes to take my friend
And then to take my soul

The longest train
I ever seen
It went down the Georgia Line
Well, I'm wondering when it's gonna bring
I'm wondering when it's gonna bring
I'm wondering when it's gonna bring
To bring that friend of mine
