Текст песни Long Black Train - Janis Joplin

Here comes a long black train, Lord,
Right by my back door again.
Here comes a long black train,
It's right by my back door again.
Now that's the same ol train, now,
Took my two best friends.

Lord, that train start off slowly,
My tears they keep streamin' down.
Lord, that train start off slowly,
My tears keep streamin' down.
I cried "Oh, Lord, why was I left
In this God forsaken town?"

So I said "Please, Mr. Conductor,
Won't you let me ride your train?
Oh, please, please, please, Mr. Conductor,
Let me ride on your train."
He said, "This train ain't mine, you're
Askin me in vain."

"Oh, please, Mr. Engineer, won't you
Let me ride your line,
Ride your line?
Oh, please, Mr. Engineer, won't you
Let me ride on your line?"
He said, "I mourn my heartbreaker
Now, this ain't no train of mine."

I watch the headlights shinin'
Far as my eyes could see.
I watch the headlights shinin'
Far as my eyes could see.
Wonderin' why, oh why that someone
Never sent for me.

Here comes a long black train, lord
Right by my back door again.
Here comes a long black train,
It's right by my back door again.
Now, that's the same ol' train, now
Took my two very best friends.
