[Verse 1]
Train on the island
Thought I heard it blow
Go tell my true love
I reckon I can't go
I reckon I can't go
I reckon I can't go

[Verse 2]
Train on the island
Thought I heard it squeal
Go, tell my true love
I can't hold the wheel
Lord, I can't hold the wheel
Lord, I can't hold the wheel

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Train on the island
Thought I heard it blow
Go tell my true love
I'm sick and, I can't go
I'm sick and, I can't go
I'm sick and, I can't go

[Verse 4]
Train on the island
Thought I heard it squeal
Go, tell my true love
I can't hold the wheel
Lord, I can't hold the wheel
Lord, I can't hold the wheel
