Southbound to Slaughter

For you, my friend, wherever you are right now.

Put my baby on the evening train
Carry his soul through the wind and the rain
Put my baby on the evening train
Southbound to Slaughter

From out of the past you came to me at last
Drenched in the blood of a restless man
Tied down, tapped out, a drink in your hand
Promise that you'll come back again

It's a step to the left and a step to the right
If you don't quit now you'll be at it all night
Whiskey and wine sending chills up my spine
But I want to see the dawn in his eyes

Put my baby on the evening train
Carry his soul through the wind and the rain
Put my baby on the evening train
Southbound to Slaughter

The devil's in the details or so they say
We can swim in the night, we can drown in the day
That lonesome whistle is calling your name
You're never coming back again
