Let The Train Blow The Whistle

I don't want no aggravation

When my train has left the station

If you're there or not, I may not even know

Have a round and remember

Things we did that weren't so tender

Let the train blow the whistle when I go

On my guitar sell tickets

So someone can finally pick it

And tell the girls down at the Ritz

I said hello

Tell the gossipers and liars

I will see them in the fire

Let the train blow the whistle when I go

|Let her blow, let her blow

|Long and loud and hard and happy

|Let her blow

|No regrets, all my debts will be paid

|When I get laid

|Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow

You'll be left without excuses

For the evils and abuses

Down to today from years and years ago

And have yourself another toke

From my basket full of smoke

And let the train blow the whistle when I go

{chorus}
