1
Way out west an Arizona cowboy tends the herd
2
The dessert lies beneath a sky of blue
3
Far away, in brightest day, a ghostly sound is heard
4
The phantom of the rail comes into view
5
Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
6
On his lonely ear is fallin'
7
Loud and clear, just hear that lonesome wail
8
But it's just the ghost, the phantom of the rail
9
Little did he know the train was wrecked in '84
10
After it had crossed the Great Divide
11
Every year it tries again to make it just once more
12
If only to the California Line
13
Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
14
On the barren dessert fallin'
15
Loud and clear, just hear that lonesome wail
16
But it's just the ghost, the phantom of the rail
17
Clickity-clack along the track, it's boiler showin' red
18
As on it comes along the rusty rails
19
People that are ridin' in the cars have long been dead
20
Lost in time along the Phantom Trail
21
Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
22
On the barren dessert fallin'
23
Is it real to feel the very ground beneath him shake
24
As on it comes, the only run it ever makes
25
Cross here comes the phantom, as his eyes in wonder gaze
26
His pony shys and heads in for the brush
27
And as it comes upon him terror grips his heart, amazed
28
Leapin' to avoid it's onward rush
29
Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
30
On the barren dessert fallin'
31
Thought he saw the engineer, thought he heard him once more wail
32
As on he went, forever bent, on stayin' on the ghost train rail
