about

Erin takes you down to the delta with this bluesy number written by Lucille Bogan.

lyrics

I hate that train, that they all call the M and O
I hate that train, that they all call the M and O
It took my baby away, and he ain’t comin’ back no more

When he was leavin’, could not hear nothin’ but that whistle blow
When he was leavin’, could not hear nothin’ but that whistle blow
And the man at the throttle, said he ain’t comin’ back no more

He had his head in the window, and he was watchin’ those drive wheels go
He had his head in the window, and he was watchin’ those drive wheels go
He said I’m goin’ away baby, and I ain’t comin’ back no more

Now I’m sorry, sorry sorry to my heart
Yes I’m sorry, sorry sorry to my heart
To see that M and O train, and me and my baby part

I hate that train, that they all call the M and O
I hate that train, that they all call the M and O
It took my baby away, and he ain’t comin’ back no more
It took my baby away, and he ain’t comin’ back no more
