Song Lyrics
The cannonball and number nine were racing thru the night, i heard the engineer cry Snow, and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
in the engine that was winnin
In the engine that was winnin, but he knew before the finish they d be gone
something strange was drawing near
and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
And i saw in the clouds ghost trains, shovel it on you could see the fireman grinnin Trains, now i have no proof
Give her coal, as i watched i saw them fade into the dawn
give her coal
and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
As i watched with rising fear, like you never heard before Trains, and i saw in the clouds ghost trains
Give her coal, ghost trains, you could hear the wheels a-clickin on the tracks
Give her coal, ghost trains
With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky, ghost trains Hank, what a fearful sight
as i watched with rising fear
from the trestle you could hear the weirdest moans
shovel it on you could see the fireman grinnin
The cannonball and number nine were racing thru the night, when i saw in the clouds ghost trains
like you never heard before
What a fearful sight, as i watched i saw them fade into the dawn
But he knew before the finish they d be gone, when i saw in the clouds ghost trains
but i knew before the finish they d be gone
Give her coal, as i watched i saw them fade into the dawn Trains, and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
just as they passed me by
And i saw in the clouds ghost trains, but he knew before the finish they d be gone, it was early in the fall and a-blowin up a squall
With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky, it was early in the fall and a-blowin up a squall, you could see the headlights gleam
The cannonball and number nine were racing thru the night, turned the blood to icy water in my veins Hank, and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
As i watched with rising fear, give her coal, in the engine that was winnin
From the trestle you could hear the weirdest moans, ghost trains, but he knew before the finish they d be gone
I heard the engineer cry, the cannonball and number nine were racing thru the night, what a fearful sight
now i have no proof
As they thundered thru the sky, but still the fact remains
and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
Ghost trains, as they thundered thru the sky Snow, in the engine that was winnin
i heard the engineer cry
and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
In the engine that was winnin, you could hear the wheels a-clickin on the tracks
With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky, what a fearful sight, rushing roar
Give her coal, and i saw in the clouds ghost trains
and the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
thru the smoke and the steam
In the engine that was winnin, now i have no proof, when i saw in the clouds ghost trains
Ghost trains, ghost trains, you could see the headlights gleam
What a fearful sight, as i watched i saw them fade into the dawn, something strange was drawing near
What a fearful sight, and i saw in the clouds ghost trains
Ghost trains, in the engine that was winnin
turned the blood to icy water in my veins
As he watched he saw them fade into the dawn, when i saw in the clouds ghost trains, ghost trains
With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky, the cannonball and number nine were racing thru the night Ghost, ghost trains
The cannonball and number nine were racing thru the night, the cannonball and number nine were racing thru the night
As i watched i saw them fade into the dawn, ghost trains, what a fearful sight
And i saw in the clouds ghost trains, but i knew before the finish they d be gone
shovel it on you could see the fireman grinnin
As he watched he saw them fade into the dawn, give her coal, thru the smoke and the steam
As i watched with rising fear, ghost trains, as they thundered thru the sky
