Well, Rueben had a train and he put it on the tracks
Sent it off to lord knows where
Singing oh me, oh my
Sent it off to lord knows where
Well, he ran it to the east and he ran it to the west
Ran it everywhere the railroad goes
Singing oh me, oh my
Ran it everywhere the railroad goes
Well, oh to be in town when old Rueben's train when down
You could hear the whistle blow a-hundred miles
Singing oh me, oh my
Hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Well I got me a blade and lay Rueben in the shade
I'm startin' me a graveyard of my own
Singing oh me, oh my
Startin' me a graveyard of my own
