[Intro - spoken, Slap-Bass, muted acoustic guitar rhythm (Boom-chicka), twangy electric guitar doing a descending train-like riff, whistles] All you queens from Storyteller Ville, You sang the blues, your last farewell [Verse 1] Well that last train done left town The last train done left town I heard the whistle moaning low But that last train done left town. (Hoo-hooo-ooooo.) [Verse 2] Now my sweet baby’s on that train My sweet baby’s on that train I wonder if I will see her again But that last train’s done gone down. (Hoo-hooo-ooooo.) [Instrumental break - Twangy Telecaster-style lead solo, call-and-response phrases with bass fills, snare with driving train beat] [Verse 3] Now the whistle’s moaning low The whistle is moaning low I begged my baby please don’t go But that last train’s done gone down. (Hoo-hooo-ooooo.) [Verse 4] Now I’m sorry for what I’ve done I’m sorry for what I’ve done To leave behind your baby crying But that last train’s done gone down. (Hoo-hooo-ooooo.) [Verse 5] Well that last train done left town The last train done left town I heard the whistle moaning low But that last train done left town. (Hoo-hooo-hooo-hoo-hoo.) [Outro- slow fade out with repetition of the “Hoo-hooo-ooooo” line as background vocal motif] Just say farewell now, farewell to Storyteller Ville. The last train’s rollin’, but my heart is still. (Hoo-hooo-hooo-hoo-hoo.) (Hoo-hooo-hooo-hoo-hoo.) (Hoo-hooo-hooo-hoo-hoo.) (Hoo-hooo-hooo-hoo-hoo.)
