When I grow old momma
And my days are through
back home on my own
and my days are through
I got no no need Momma
To lay my burden on you
If you see me rusting
Don't you grease my chain
If you see me rusting momma
don't you grease my chain
Ain't no oil momma
Gonna ease this old boy's pain
Hear my train coming
crawl to that county line
The good Lord heard my prayer
brought that train right on time, yes he did
Do y'all hear me?
When I close my eyes
lay me 'neath that willow tree
Yes when I close my eyes
Lay me 'neath that willow tree
Don't you shed no tears momma
let that willow weep for me
Here's mhy train comin'
crossin' over that county line
The good Lord heard my prayer
brought that train right on time
The good Lord heard my prayer
brought that train right on time
hmmmm
