In the twilight glow, I see  
Blue eyes crying in the rain  
When we kissed goodbye and parted  
I knew we’d never meet again

Take my hankerchief, wipe your eyes  
(I’m gonna miss you)  
Maybe you’ll find, you’ll find another guy  
(I’m gonna miss you)  
Let’s kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby  
(I’m gonna miss you)  
Please, don’t you cry

Don’t cry, daddy  
Daddy, please don’t cry  
Daddy, you’ve still got me and little Tommy  
And together we’ll find a brand new mommy  
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again  
Daddy, ride us on your back again  
Oh, daddy, please, don’t cry

Where is its mother go take it to her

A maiden then softly said  
C  
I wish that I could was the man’s sad reply  
D7 G7 C  
But she’s dead in the coach ahead

```
      B7 C Dm F

```

While the train rolled onwards the husband sat in tears  
G7 C F C  
Thinking of the happiness of just a few short years  
B7 C Dm F  
Baby’s face brings pictures of a cherished one that’s dead  
C A7  
The baby’s crying can’t waken her  
D7 G7 C  
In the baggage coach ahead

I hear that train a’comin’  
It’s rollin’ ‘round the bend  
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when  
I’m stuck in Crescent City  
And time keeps draggin’ on

I said, train kept a-rolling all night long  
Train kept a-rolling all night long  
Train kept a-rolling all night long  
Train kept a-rolling all night long  
With a “heave!”, and a ho!  
But I just couldn’t tell her so, no, no, no

Rudy’s on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line  
He don’t want to get there, but he needs time  
He ain’t sophisticated, nor well-educated  
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time

But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream  
And the steel rail still ain’t heard the news  
The conductor sings his songs again  
The passengers will please refrain  
This train got the disappearing railroad blues

I met an old mistake  
Walking down the street today  
I met an old mistake  
Walking down the street today  
I didn’t want to be mean about it  
But I didn’t have one good word to say

West L.A. fadeaway

Little red light on the highway  
Big green light on the speedway, hey hey hey

I met my old lover on the street last night  
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled  
And we talked about some old times  
And we drank ourselves some beers

Still crazy after all these years  
Oh, still crazy after all these years
