In a town I forget the name of
There lived a boy named Dan
Who was driver of the
The railroad train that ran
Well he loved that train so much
He loved it with his heart
But then he met a pretty young girl
That's when the trouble starts
When the trouble starts
Well Ruby was her name
And she drove old Dan insane
With the railroad train
A three way love is trouble
I guess you already know
So evil Ruby decided
Someone had to go
Someone had to go
Well evil deeds to Ruby
Was surely nothing new
Cause late that night she decided
Just what she had to do
Danny's blood ran that night
With the pouring rain
Cause evil Ruby shot that boy
And stole the railroad train
Stole that railroad train
Well the moral of the story
If you don't want to end like Dan
Forget that girl and take that train
And leave for Vietnam
