I've seen that engine comin'
Was five years ago
She was rollin' big and black
You shouda heard that whistle blow
The train slowed down around the bend
Well, I believe I'll take a ride
Trainman get me satisfied
Here come the train of glory
It's comin' right on time
Won't cha do me a favor
Pick up my friends along the line

Well, I'm layin' at the other end
I got my suitcase under my head
I take my friends a message
Tell 'em what I said
Tell 'em I need some money
So I can buy a drink or two
And ask them nice if they'll
Come back with you
Here come the train of glory
It's comin' right on time
Won't cha do me a favor
Pick up my friends along the line

Here come doctor
I'm a gonna ask you once again
Well, didn't you leave Ohio with
A heavy load of friends
Say yes, boy,
Well I left the station
Your friends were on board
West Virginia was all they could afford
Here come the train of glory
It's comin' right on time
Won't cha do me a favor
Pick up my friends along the line

I worked with a girl who couldn't stop talking about Jonathan Edwards. I wasn't familiar with him and said so and she just went on and on about how great he was and she'd seen him back in New Jersey, right in the front row and he was the best ever. I still didn't know what he sounded like so when I got back home where I could finally order some records and listen, I got Jonathan Sings! and Back in Your Life, and when I told her my favorite songs from those records, she said WHAT

So anyway, that's how I got into Jonathan Richman.
