 Think I'll go  down to the depot, though the train don't run no more
 Take a ticket  and start walkin', down to the old gulf shore
 Well I'm a-lookin'  for a train, that runs silent with the wind
 Haulin' sad  souls, bound for nowhere, Ghost  Train Four-Oh-Ten
 Big money  took my cotton, left me busted, down to scratch
 Well my woman  couldn't take the hard times, she ain't never comin' back
 Ain't  no use in me stayin', send word to my next of kin
 Well I'm leavin',  yes I'm leavin', on Ghost  Train Four-Oh-Ten
 Well I've seen  it in my dreams, I've heard  it in my mind
 Somewhere  between eight-oh-six, just past the twelve-oh-nine
 A tortured soul  is all it takes, to ride it till the end
 Black  steel, bound for nowhere, Ghost  Train Four-Oh-Ten
 Gamblers,  thugs and thieves, and the likes of me
 No questions  asked or answered, how it is is how it be
 No particular  destination, headed back where it's just been
 Haulin' tear-stained  weary travelers, Ghost  Train Four-Oh-Ten
 Well, Ghost  Train Four-Oh-Ten
