Ghost Train Lyrics
Ghost Train - Marty Robbins (马丁·罗宾逊)
Way out west an Arizona cowboy tends the herd
The dessert lies beneath a sky of blue
Far away in brightest day a ghostly sound is heard
The phantom of the rail comes into view
Hear that lonesome whistle calling
On his lonely ear is falling
Loud and clear just hear that lonesome wail
But it's just the ghost the phantom of the rail
Little did he know the train was wrecked in 84
After it had crossed the Great Divide
Every year it tries again to make it just once more
If only to the California Line
Hear that lonesome whistle calling
On the barren dessert falling
Loud and clear just hear that lonesome wail
But it's just the ghost the phantom of the rail
Clickity-clack along the track it's boiler showing red
As on it comes along the rusty rails
People that are riding in the cars have long been dead
Lost in time along the Phantom Trail
Hear that lonesome whistle calling
On the barren dessert falling
Is it real to feel the very ground beneath him shake
As on it comes the only run it ever makes
Cross here comes the phantom
As his eyes in wonder gaze
His pony shys and heads in for the brush
And as it comes upon him terror
Grips his heart amazed
Leaping to avoid it's onward rush
Hear that lonesome whistle calling
On the barren dessert falling
Thought he saw the engineer
Thought he heard him once more wail
As on he went forever bent
On staying on the ghost train rail
