Lyrics to "Both Ends of the Train"
I roomed with him in Rockville in 1925
He was doing life and I was doing time
His memory drifted back when he was most alive
When Frank and Jesse James were in their prime
He was a corporal, fought the Kiowa and Sioux
From Sulphur Springs to Kansas City
Ran into trouble when his soldier days were through
Ended up a thousand miles away
Don't waste fond words sad goodbye
Lay me down on the wide open plain
Out beneath the quilted sky
Where I can see both ends of the train
He said I saw the buffalo, the herds would last for days
Back before the railroad came
Now it's all moved on without me but I miss the older ways
And I know it can never be the same
They buried him at Rockville and his kind won't rise again
I hope his soul can find some rest
To the world he's long forgotten, but to me he was a friend
I still recall his last request
Don't waste fond words sad goodbye
Lay me down on the wide open plain
Out beneath the quilted sky
Where I can see both ends of the train

This song grips me. Makes me think of my ancestors who lived on the frontier when Buffalo still ranged even out East.
