Lyrics

I can hear the whistle blow, across the farms and fields.
Calls to mind a love way back with a hurt that never healed.
Brings to mind a girl I knew, a girl I once called my own.
The train rolls on, to New Orleans, and leaves me standing alone.

Dixieland is dark tonight, there’s a dog that barks down the street,
He howls and howls and never stops and keeps me from falling asleep.
I would go if I knew I could, up to Tennessee,
But I know I can’t, so I just sit under the magnolia tree.

Twenty years could come and go and time would not be a friend,
Love comes and goes and doesn’t pause – only pain does not know an end.
I had some friends, or thought I did, only they do not come around.
One more winter alone, I know I’ll be living six feet under the ground.
