The Shiners ELVIS LEFT & GONE by Charles Jones There's a cold north wind a-blowin'. There's a lonesome cattle lollin'. And that same old train track runs by my back door. There's doggies strayin' cross the plains. Old fogies prayin' for a train. But Casey Jones don't ride this line no more. CHORUS And you know Elvis left the building, And Jesus left this world. Johnny done left Frankie For a little curly-headed girl. My daddy left my momma, And my baby's left and gone. Well I'm the only one that's left here. And I can't leave myself alone. Yes, that that fireball mill ain't flyin'. The young ones can't stop cryin'. Cause Jessie James lies bleeding on the floor. And the last train bound for glory Left the station. No more stories. That old train won't be back this way no more. [ CHORUS ] Yeah, those steel rails are old and rusted. Steam ?? broke and busted. John Henry's dead and buried long time past. There's coyote's cryin' the night away, But it's quiet down on the right-a-way. Yes, that's the sound of nothin' coming fast. And you know Elvis left the building, And Jesus left this world. Oedopus left Jacosta, Cause she was just a daddy's girl. My dog left with the circus. My mind is left and gone. Well, I'm the only one left here, And I can't leave myself alone. Yes, I'm the only one left here, And i can't leave myself alone.
