South station in Boston
Stasiun Selatan di Boston
To the stockyards of Austin
Ke stockyards di Austin
From the Florida sunshine
Dari sinar matahari Florida
To the New Orleans rain
Ke New Orleans hujan
Now that the rail packs
Sekarang paket kereta api itu
Have taken the best tracks
Telah mengambil jejak terbaik
She's trying just trying
Dia mencoba mencoba
To get back home again
Untuk kembali ke rumah lagi

She's a railroad lady
Dia wanita kereta api
Just a little bit shady
Hanya sedikit teduh
Spending her days on a train
Menghabiskan hari-harinya di kereta api
Once a pullin' car traveler
Pernah seorang mobil kencang
Now a breakmen won't have her
Sekarang breakmen tidak akan memilikinya
She's trying just trying
Dia mencoba mencoba
To get home again
Pulang lagi

Once a high-balling loner
Sekali penyendiri bertepuk tinggi
Thought he could own her
Kupikir dia bisa memilikinya
And he bought her a fur coat
Dan dia membelikannya mantel bulu
And a big dimaond ring
Dan cincin dimaond besar
But she hung in for cold cash
Tapi dia menggantungkan uang dingin
Left down on the Wabash
Waktu di Wabash
Never thinking never thinking
Jangan pernah berpikir tidak pernah berpikir
Of home way back then
Dari rumah jalan saat itu

But the rails are now rusty
Tapi relnya sekarang berkarat
And the dining car's dusty
Dan tempat makannya berdebu
The gold plated watches
Jam tangan berlapis emas
Are taking their gold
Mengambil emas mereka
The railroads're dying
Kereta api sedang sekarat
And the lady is crying
Dan wanita itu menangis
On a bus to Kentucky
Di bus ke Kentucky
And home that's her goal
Dan rumah itulah tujuannya
She's a railroad lady…
Dia adalah wanita kereta api …
On a bus to Kentucky and home once again
Di bus ke Kentucky dan rumah sekali lagi
