Sometimes
I feel so low- down and disgusted

slow train comin' up around the bend

Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated,

People starving and thirsting,
grain elevators are bursting

Show me someone who knows

Well, my baby went to Illinois with some

ones turning into puppets

There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
