Ghost Train outside my window, and I can hear that engine moan, 

Black engine  signals something really bad and the smokestack blowing coal, 

The Engineer ain't got no Eyes, The conducter ain't got no soul, 

 

It screams and moans at three AM, carrying souls that ain't never woke, 

Ain't been no track for fifty years, but the whistles far from broke, 

Sho hope that black shiny engine passes by and that's no joke, 

 

Don't stare at her as she rolls by, cuz she might just slow down, 

Stop outside your window, take you far beyond this town, 

To  a place where there's no looking back to see why that black engines coming round, 

 

Ghost Train outside my window, and I can hear that engine moan, 

Black engine  signals something really bad and the smokestack blowing coal, 

The Engineer ain't got no Eyes, The conducter ain't got no soul, 

 

Lost momma when it came around my window one cold December day, 

I hear that engine howling as it came back by and took my dad away, 

The souls that ol' smokestack's blowing high into the sky are gone to stay, 

 

Ghost Train outside my window, and I can hear that engine moan, 

Black engine  signals something really bad and the smokestack blowing coal, 

The Engineer ain't got no Eyes, The conducter ain't got no soul, 

 

Ghost Train outside my window, and I can hear that engine moan, 

Black engine  signals something really bad and the smokestack blowing coal, 

The Engineer ain't got no Eyes, The conducter ain't got no soul,
