is that the moon i see over there i the west
or the headliight gleam C & O express?
i know she's gone, whatever i say
it own't be long till i make up my mind and go away
did you see that man he can't hear the whistle
blind old fool caught out on the trestle
can't go up and he can't go back
train kept coming brushed him ff the track
other storms may
Is that the sun coming up on the eastern shore,
Or just the coal bed glow behind the firebox door?
I know she's gone, whatever I say,
But it won't be long 'til I make up my mind
And go away.
(bridge)

Other storms may blow and the wind may rise,
Still I long to go where the fast mail flies.
I know she's gone, whatever I say,
But it won't be long 'til I make up my mind
And go away.
