lyrics

Train number 10 oh 5
Train leaving 10 oh 5
All aboard Miss Moses
He can't stay alive
Train number 10 oh 5

Sun coming up one morning
Softly on an old southwestern town
I see the stout gallows a-buildin'
And I wonder if we'll ever be found

The man a-sittin' in the jailhouse
The drifter the courtroom said was me
Has dined on his very last supper
In an hour his soul is set free

Cold ground awaits my double
The Dixie Flyer is a-waitin' me
'bout the time the drifter meets his Maker
I'll be 60 miles towards Tennessee

You can argue over horses
You can argue over good land
If you argue over a woman
Never overplay your hand
Never overplay your hand

All aboard Miss Moses
He can't stay alive
Train number 10 oh 5
Train number 10 oh 5
