[Verse 1]
Well, I followed her to the station, yeah
With a suitcase in my hand
Yeah, I followed her - aw - to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Oh, yes, I did
Yes, and it's hard to tell, and it's hard to tell
When all your love's in vain

[Verse 2]
When the train come in the station, yeah
And I looked her in the eye
Well, the train come in the station
And I looked her in the eye
Yes, and I felt so sad and lonesome, yeah
That I could not help but cry

I want you to cry for me one time now
Tell you when to cry, I would cry

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
When the train left the station, yeah
It had two lights on behind
Yeah, the train goin', it left the station, I tell ya
It had two lights, two lights on behind
Yes, and the blue light was my baby
And the red light was, was my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[?]
All my love's in vain
Yeah, that's all right
