do you remember when i told you
that i had a tale to tell?
let me regale you, child
about a life spent on the rail
forget me not, don't forget it
cuz i'll be gone in a minute...
and whenever the drugstore man
used to come around
i'd bite my lip
and then i'd take myself to town
forget me not, don't forget it
cuz i'll be gone in a minute...
don't call me no more, no more
nobody ever needs ya
when you're this far gone
now you say the train's a'comin'
but i don't see it on the track
last train's eleven
and it ain't comin' back
forget me not . . .
