Last Train

by Allen Toussaint

on Southern Nights (1975)

Well, that last train done left town
That last train done left town
I heard the whistle moaning low
But that last train done gone down

My sweet baby's on that train
My sweet baby's on that train
I wonder if I will see her again
Oh, that last train done gone down

I heard the whistle moanin' low
I heard the whistle moanin' low
I beg and pleaded, please, don't go
But that last train done gone down

I'm sorry for what I've done
I'm sorry for what I've done
Too late good-bye, my baby cried
Oh, that last train done left town
