lyrics

words and music by Doug Ward



My Heart

Sings out the whistle of the steam train

As we’re coming round the mountain

On the 6:15 to Memphis

On the Chatahoochie line



She’s on a cannonball to Dallas

And I’m meeting her in Memphis

I just hope that this old train gets there on time



My Heart

Sings out the whistle of that old engine

As it echoes through the valleys

On the 6:15 to Memphis

On the Chatahoochie line



She’s on a one-way ride to Dallas

And I’m meeting her in Memphis

I just hope I get to see her one more time



My heart

Sings out the mournful song of leaving

At every stop and crossing

On the 6:15 to Memphis

On the Chatahoochie line



She wants a new life down in Dallas

Gonna beg her hand in Memphis

I just hope that this old train gets there on time



My heart
