Lyrics and translation Doc Watson - The Train That Carried My Girl from Town
Where
was
you
when
the
train
left
town?
Où
étais-tu
quand
le
train
a
quitté
la
ville
?
I's
standin'
on
the
corner
with
my
head
hung
down.
Je
me
tenais
au
coin
de
la
rue,
la
tête
baissée.
Hey,
the
train
carried
my
girl
from
town,
Hé,
le
train
a
emporté
ma
fille
de
la
ville,
Hey,
hey,
hey,
hey.
Hé,
hé,
hé,
hé.
SPOKEN:
That's
kinda
the
way
she
sounded
when
she's
rollin'
away
from
the
depot...
PARLÉ
: C'est
comme
ça
qu'elle
sonnait
quand
elle
s'éloignait
du
dépôt...
If
I
had
a
gun
I'd
let
the
hammer
down,
Si
j'avais
un
fusil,
je
tirerais.
Lord,
I'd
shoot
that
rounder
took
my
girl
from
town.
Seigneur,
je
tirerais
sur
ce
voyou
qui
a
emmené
ma
fille
de
la
ville.

There
goes
the
train
that
carried
my
girl
from
town;
Voilà
le
train
qui
a
emporté
ma
fille
de
la
ville
;
If
I
knowed
her
number,
Lord,
I'd
flag
her
down.
Si
je
connaissais
son
numéro,
Seigneur,
je
la
ferais
arrêter.

Rations

the
table
and
the
coffee's
gettin'
cold,
Les
rations
sont
sur
la
table
et
le
café
refroidit,
And
some
dirty
rounder
stole
my
jelly
roll.
Et
un
sale
voyou
m'a
volé
mon
gâteau
au
chocolat.

Je
souhaite
au
Seigneur

casse,
Kill
