Down around the corner
half a mile from here
see them long trains running
and watch them disappear
Without love where would you be now?
Without love.
You know I saw Miss Lucy
down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
and she won't be coming back
Without love where would you be now?
Without love.
Well the lilino is central
the southern central freight
Gotta keep on pushing mama
You know they're running late
Without love where would you be now?
