Reuben's Train Lyrics - Back Porch Bluegrass Live Almost - Dillards

Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track 

He ran it to the Lord knows where 

Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where 

Should been in town when Reuben's train went down 

You could hear that whistle blow 100 miles 

Oh me, oh my you could hear the whistle blow 100 miles 

Last night I lay in jail had no money to go my bail 

Lord how it sleeted & it snowed 

Oh me, oh my Lord how it sleeted & it snowed 

I've been to the East, I've been to the West 

I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow 

Oh me, oh my I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow 

Oh the train that I ride is 100 coaches long 

You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles 

Oh me, oh my you can hear the whistle blow 100 miles 

I got myself a blade, laid Reuben in the shade, 

I'm startin' me a graveyard of my own. 

Oh, me, oh lordy my, startin' me a graveyard of my own. 

Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track 

He ran it to the Lord knows where 

Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where
