When I hear that cold wind howl Midnight, pouring rain Oh I hear my baby's voice call my name On that distant lonesome train Oh I hear those drums out in the field Crying out in pain Her spirit calls me from the barren ground On that distant lonesome train [Riff] x4 Well the devil is my driver Burning coal turns to flame So take me down to the gates of hell On that distant lonesome train [Riff] x8 (in the rhythm of the lyrics) oooohh oooohhhh oooohhh oooohhhh [Solo 1] x4 x4 x4 x6 On a traveling cannonball A passenger without a name So lay her down, go on let's ride On that distant lonesome train On a distant lonesome train On the distant lonesome train Oh that distant lonesome train, yeah [Riff] x8 [Solo 2] till the end
