[ Wilburn Bros ]

In the land of the Ponderosa pine there runs a giant 8-wheeler

Known as the Big River Train

Just before she disappears into the forset she passes by a prison

Where many a convict has dreamed of riding her rails to freedom

I'd like to tel you a story as it was told to me

It's called The Legend Of The Big River Train

Keep that 8-wheel drive a rolling let her lonesome whistle whine

For it tells the world a story as it whistles through the pines

In the death car lies a convict with a number for his name

And he's going home this morning on that old Big River Train

Well they brought him to this prison twenty years ago this date

Changed his name into a number then he became my prison mate

Somehow I knew he wasn't guilty from the very day he came

Yet they brought him to this prison on that old Big River Train

We became the best of buddies side by side through thick and thin

Then one night he told his story how he was framed by evil men

Men who bought and bribed the jury seeking only selfish gain

They sent an honest man to prison condemned him to a life of shame

Many times I've heard him tell me when he'd hear that whistle blow

That same old train that brought me here pal is gonna take me home I know

I'll ride it back to my home country and there I'll clear my honest name

Well they shipped him back this morning on that old Big River Train

But he's gone to meet his Maker in a land that's bright and new

Gone to claim a peace and freedom that heaven knows was overdue

Of a crime he wasn't guilty just a victim of a frame

Yes he came and now he's leavin' on that old Big River Train

Yes he's going home this morning on that old Big River Train

  • All Of A Sudden
    "All of a sudden you're lonely all of a sudden it's goodbye
    You found out too late how much you love her all of a sudden you cry
    You thought that she'd belong to you forever
    You thought that she love you that you could play..."
  • Almost Persuaded
    "Last night all alone in a barroom met a girl with a drink in her hand
    She had ruby red lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man
    Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands in mine
    I have found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowing like wine..."
  • Always Alone
    "Always alone alone and blue I've got no one to tell my troubles to
    No one to care to call my own it seems that I must always be alone
    The day you left you broke my heart I need you so but we're so far apart
    You didn't care I should have known that you would go and leave me all alone..."
  • Answer Me My Love
    "Answer me oh my love just what sin have I been guilty of
    Won't you tell me how I lost you love please answer me sweetheart
    You were mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay
    Won't you tell me where I've gone astray please answer me my love..."
  • Barbara Allen
    "In Scarlet Town where I was born there was a fair maid dwelling
    Her beauty shone just like the sun and her name was Barbara Allen
    All in the merry month of May when green buds they were swelling
    Sweet William on his death bed lay for the love of Barbara Allen..."
  • Beneath The Willow Tree
    "My heart is sad and I am lonely I'm lonesome for the one I love
    When shall I see her maybe never until we meet in a heaven above
    Oh bury me beneath the willow neath the weeping willow tree
    So she may know where I am sleeping and perhaps she'll weep for me..."
  • Big Heartbreak
    "You walked away and said it was goodbye
    You laughed when you saw teardrops in my eyes
    But I'm still yours completely heart and soul how can a heart so warm love one so cold
    The big heartbreak started then the big heartbreak just won't end..."
  • Blue Blue Day
    "It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away I feel like runnin' away from it all
    My love has been untrue she's found somebody new it's been a blue blue day for me
    I feel like crying sighing what can I do
    I feel like praying saying I'm glad we're through..."
