[00:00:43]
I am just an Indian and once this was my land [00:00:53]
Now it's been taking from me by the coming of a white man [00:01:00]
And the anger makes my blood run hot and heavy in my veins [00:01:07]
Everytime I think about the coming of the trains [00:01:15]
The day was hot and dusty in the year of sisty-nine [00:01:22]
As we heard the whistle blowing somewhere down the line [00:01:29]
That was the year I rode with frank and jesse james [00:01:38]
As we waited for the coming and the going of the trains [00:01:44]
The drought hit west Texas the ground was cracked and dry [00:01:52]
We just had to have some water or our crops would surely die [00:01:59]
The railroad shipped this water till we finally got some rain [00:02:06]
And I thanked God for the coming and the going of the trains [00:02:14]
I lived behind these iron bars I'm a prisoner doing time [00:02:24]
And I've heard that midnight freight pass at least the thousand times [00:02:31]
And I spent my time a walking to the door and back again [00:02:39]
And marking down the coming and the going of the trains [00:02:46]
I've always been an engineer and trains're all I know [00:02:54]
Ah they don't want me anymore and they say that I'm too old [00:03:01]
But my cabin at the crossing sorta helps to ease my pain [00:03:08]
For I just had to feel the coming and the going of the trains [00:03:16]
The trucks and planes're faster now and the railroad is too slow [00:03:23]
And they just came and told me that my railroad has to go [00:03:30]
The hands that built the railroad through sweat and blood and pain [00:03:38]
Will sign the final papers of the going of the trains [00:03:45]
And I have seen the coming and the going of the trains [00:03:53]
