Lyrics of With A Memory Like Mine by Tim O'Brien,Darrell Scott
I can see that train a′ comin'
Watch that big light shine this way
Hear that whistle softly blowin′
Lord, it's been an awful day.
I watched him leave that Friday mornin'
It was in the month of May
I told my son to be a good soldier
But return again someday
He was returned just one year later
But I′ll not forget that day
A baggage car is where he travelled
In a casket where he lay
Train man, keep your whistle blowin′
Make it moan and make it whine
It can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine
In that little country graveyard
On a dark and dreary day
They placed a flag upon the casket
And the casket in the grave
I couldn't stand it any longer
And I knew not how to pray
I cried "Oh lord, I cannot leave him
All alone beneath that clay"
Train man, keep your whistle blowin′
Make it moan and make it whine
You can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine (Just like mine)
I can see him as a baby
I can hear him call my name
I can feel him under fire
And see him risin' from the flames
Lord, if I could I would trade places
I would gladly give my all
I′d wrap that flag round me like a blanket
And listen for the clouds to fall
Train man, keep your whistle blowin'
Make it moan and make it whine
You can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine
Train man, keep your whistle blowin′
Make it moan and make it whine
You can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine
