B.B. King - Hold That Train Lyrics

(Joe Josea / B.B. King)

Hold that train, conductor, please don't let that engineer start
Hold that train, conductor, please don't let that engineer start
Well, I wanna ride your train this morning, just to ease my achin' heart

Yes, for the last few mornings lately, before I get out of my bed
Yes, for the last few mornings lately, before I get out of my bed
Well, I hear your whistle moanin' and it almost drives me out of my head

I'll pay my fare when we starts rollin', all your money's right here in my pants
I'll pay my fare when we starts rollin', all your money's right here in my pants
Well, I know I should back and buy a ticket, yes, but I'm afraid to take the chance

Oh, don't stop this train, conductor, till this old state is out of sight
Yes, don't stop this train, conductor, till Mississippi is out of sight
Well, you know I'm going to California, where I, I know my baby will treat me right
