My grandma used to spin yarns about a spectral locomotive that would
Rocket past the farm where she grew up
I never heard nor saw it but many questions did remain
With an uneasy feeling in my gut

Ghost Train! Why should I be scared?
Ghost Train! What’s going on in there?
Ghost Train! I guess I should beware
It’s enough to drive a man like me insane
Ghost Train!

Are you really the ghost of a train that died
Or a real working train that happens to be filled with ghosts
Or maybe the train is just a really scary ghost
But it’s a train that’s filled with regular folks?

Ghost Train! Why should I be scared?
Ghost Train! What’s going on in there?
Ghost Train! I guess I should beware
It’s enough to drive a man like me insane
Ghost Train!

Do you need ghostly coal to keep chuggin’ down the line
Do you care if your ghostly cargo is showin’ up on time
If there are ghosts of people on board, where are they going to?
Are you a vengeful spirit or a benevolent choo choo?


Ghost Train! Why should I be scared?
Ghost Train! What’s going on in there?
Ghost Train! I guess I should beware

It’s enough to drive a man like me insane
It’s causing some confusion in my brain
I’ll never ever be able to explain

Ghost train

ALL ABOARD!
