They shoveled in the coal that turned the mountains black My baby's on that train and she ain't comin' back That lonesome whistle lets me know, they won't turn around And there's nothin' I can do about it now Roll, rollin' Rollin' and they ain't slowin' down They keep roll, roll, rollin' And there's nothin' I can do about it now That steel was cold to touch as I hammered on the side Ticket (Ticket) Please if you want to ride They kicked me off and carried my love down to the next town And there's nothin' I can do about it now Roll, rollin' Rollin' and they ain't slowin' down They keep roll, roll, rollin' And there's nothin' I can do about it now I'm a full grown man, I don't like to cry Tried to hold them back but I done lost the fight Now they're runnin' from my eyes on this cold, cold ground And there's nothin' I can do about it now Roll, rollin' Rollin' and they ain't slowin' down They keep roll, roll, rollin' And there's nothin' I can do about it now Roll, rollin' Rollin' and they ain't slowin' down They keep roll, roll, rollin' And there's nothin' I can do about it now No, there's nothin' I can do about it now
