In a town I forget the name of   There lived a boy named Dan   Who was driver of the   The railroad train that ran      Well he loved that train so much   He loved it with his heart   But then he met a pretty young girl   That's when the trouble starts   When the trouble starts      Well Ruby was her name   And she drove old Dan insane   But she didn't want to share Dan's love   With the railroad train      A three way love is trouble   I guess you already know   So evil Ruby decided   Someone had to go   Someone had to go      Well evil deeds to Ruby   Was surely nothing new   Cause late that night she decided   Just what she had to do      Danny's blood ran that night   With the pouring rain   Cause evil Ruby shot that boy   And stole the railroad train   Stole that railroad train      Well the moral of the story   If you don't want to end like Dan   Forget that girl and take that train   And leave for Vietnam
