It was early in the fall and a blowin' up a squall

From the trestle you could hear the weirdest moans

With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky

And it chilled the very marrow in my bones

Then a loud rushing roar like you never heard before

Turned the blood to icy water in my veins

As I watched with rising fear something strange was drawing near

And I saw in the clouds ghost trains

(Ghost trains ghost trains what a fearful sight)

The Cannonball and No 9 were racing through the night

Just as they passed me by I heard the engineer cry

Give her coal give her coal shovel it on

You could see the fireman grinning in the engine that was winning

But I knew before the finish they'd be gone

(Well he knew before the fisnish they'd be gone)

You could see the drivers roll as they shovelled on the toll

And the black smoke came pouring from the stacks

As they thundered through the sky I am here to testify

You could hear the wheels a clickin' on the tracks

Through the smoke and the steam you could see the headlights gleam

Now I have no proof but still the fact remains

You may doubt it but I swear there were cinders in my hair

When I saw in the clouds ghost trains

(Ghost trains ghost trains what a fearful sight)

The Cannonball and No 9 were racing through the night

Just as they passed me by I heard the engineer cry

Give her coal give her coal shovel it on

You could see the fireman grinning in the engine that was winning

As I watched I saw them fade into the dawn

(As he watched he saw them fade into the dawn)

Had the pleasure of seeing Hank Snow twice in Liverpool UK early 70's His live show was amazing. The Rainbow Ranch Boys were all great musicians. With Chubby Hayes on fiddle too. Hanks singing and unique style of guitar playing was just fantastic. No miming just pure raw talent. I have the LP of train songs with this track on it, still in mint condition in my collection. Thanks for the posting good to hear this again. Long live Hank Snow! Almost forgot to mention Hank featured a back up act on his second show in Liverpool -a little known (back then) clean shaven guy in a smart suit and a crew cut-Willie Nelson..

Great song by a super artist!! Never knew Hank did this. Cool photo of a German class 44 (French class 150) 2-10-0 heavy freight locomotive with the large Wagner smoke deflectors.

The country song 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' was very popular around the time this song was written. My guess is that this song was written to cash in on that popularity by putting a similar story in a railroad setting rather than featuring cowboys. That's just speculation on my part as I have no actual knowledge of the history of 'Ghost Trains.'
