Carry My Woman Away Lyrics

Train pulled in the other night and she didn't hesitate

Boarding pass clutched in her hand and bound for the western states

Why'd that girl forsake me when her love was all I knew

That's just what those women do boys said

That's just what those women do

So I rode out the next night with my rifle and my shells

Set my sights on that engineer that drove that beast from hell

He may not be guilty but I'll judge him just the same

For riding that steel beast through my plains, lord

For riding that steel beast through my plains

Don't you carry my woman away sweet lord oh no

Don't you carry my woman away

I made it through Missouri but I had stop for rest

I thought I'd catch em in Denver but that driver pushed on past

I'll track him down and kill him if it's the last thing that I do

For what that tin box put me through oh lord

For what that tin box put me through

Don't you carry my woman away sweet lord oh no

Don't you carry my woman away

Well I've rode a thousand miles

And I'll ride a million more

Just to put that engineer down in his grave

And curse that woman as a whore
