The Train
Words & Music by John Thome

In the middle of the night as the train comes around the tracks
Around every corner as it sped
A once a week trip from Lark to Salem
To carry the money to the bank
Just to carry the money to the bank
The darkness ahead was filled with many things
Including movements not yet known
There on the tracks was a fire
And bandits standing all around
There were bandits standing all around
They loaded the money in the satchels on their horses
And proceeded to tie up the conductor
But one of them gave a grave idea
So they hung the conductor in the night
They hung the conductor in the night
In the middle of the night as the train comes around the tracks
Around every corner as it sped
A once a week trip from Lark to Salem
To carry the money to the bank
Just to carry the money to the bank
