lyrics

"I Missed the Last Train to Clarksville this Morning"

1.The last train to Clarksville left this morning,
and my ticket, I gambled it away,
the Greyhound went without any warnin'
how can I tell her I still have to stay?

2.She sent me that railroad ticket to take me,
as she wrote, back into her lovin' arms,
now here I stand with my bag on the highway,
would you give a ride, are you going my way?

Chorus :

here's a lonesome boy who'd missed that train this morning,
who's for a home-cooked-meal and the one he's in Love with,

3. Yeah, am afraid her feelings for me could've gone now,
'cause I know, I've gambled much too long,
so I packed my bag and went out on that highway,
tryin' to find someone who's going my way,

Chorus :

here's a lonesome boy who'd missed that train this morning,
who's for a home-cooked-meal and the one he's in Love with,

4.coming home I saw her with a newborn in her arms,
and her man, he's got a lot of charm,
this is because I missed the last train to Clarksville,
and because I've gambled my ticket away,
now here I stand with my bag in my hand on the highway,
would you give a ride, are you going my way?

Chorus :

here's a lonesome boy who'd missed the train Clarksville,,
who wanted to come home but who's on the road again,
but who's on the road again...

FIN
