I got to get on board
Hold that train
I got to get on board
Well, my baby she don't love me, she'll love me this time for sure
Hold that train
I got to ride it tonight
I got to ride it tonight
Oh, me and my baby, we just had a big fight
Well I live my baby, love her with all my heart
I don't know why we had to part
Hold that train
I got to ride it tonight
I said, me and my baby, we just had a big fight
Hold that train
Hold that train
I got to get on board
Hold that train
I got to get on board
Cause the woman she don't love me, she'll love me this time for sure
Well it was early in the morning, about the break of day
I know my baby, she was sleeping away
Hold that train
I got to ride it tonight
Well, my woman she don't love me 'cause we had a big fight
Hey
Hold that train
Hold that train
Hold that train
Hold that train
Hold that train
All aboard?
Next stop, Chicago
Hold that train
Hold that train
One, two, three, yeah
The song "Last Train to Clarksville" by Ed Bruce is a ballad about a man who is leaving his lover behind and taking the last train out of town. He encourages her to join him for one more night together before he leaves, promising coffee-flavored kisses and conversation. The urgency in his voice suggests that their time together is running out and that he is unsure if he will ever return. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the theme of departure and uncertainty.
The song's lyrics are notable for their use of everyday language and relatable themes. The idea of a last train out of town is a common trope in American folk music and represents the idea of leaving one's troubles behind and starting over. Additionally, the mention of coffee-flavored kisses is a clever metaphor for a bittersweet goodbye.
"Last Train to Clarksville" was released in 1966 as the debut single for the Monkees, an American pop-rock group. The song was a huge commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and launching the Monkees to stardom. The Monkees went on to record a number of hit singles and albums, but "Last Train to Clarksville" remains one of their most enduring and beloved songs.
Line by Line Meaning
Take the last train to Clarksville
Meet me at the station to catch the last train leaving town
And I'll meet you at the station
I'll be waiting for you at the train station
You can be there by 4:30
Make sure to arrive on time for the train's departure
'Cause I've made your reservation
I've already booked a spot on the train for you
Don't be slow
Hurry up and get here
Oh no no no, oh no no no
I'm worried you might not make it on time
'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
I have to leave tomorrow morning
And I must see you again
I need to see you one more time before I go
We'll have one more night together
Let's spend our last night together
'Til the morning brings my train
Until it's time for me to leave on the morning train
And I must go
I have to leave
Oh no no no, oh no no no
I'm sad that I have to leave
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home
I'm unsure if I'll ever return
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
We'll have a chance to share some intimate moments
And a bit of conversation
We'll have a chance to talk a little bit
Now I must hang up the phone
It's time for me to end this phone call
I can't hear you in this
It's too noisy in the train station for me to hear you
Noisy railroad station all alone
I'm in a loud train station by myself
I'm feeling low
I'm feeling sad
Take the last train to Clarksville
Please don't miss the last train
Take the last train to Clarksville
Again, catch the last train to leave town
Take the last train to Clarksville
One more reminder to catch the last train
Take the last train to Clarksville.
Final reminder to catch the last train leaving town

Nice job Tom. I remember trains on a shelf. Nice to see Ed and Sid taking part. 😂

All of a sudden, Ed and Sid found themselves vanishing from the 77C universe as Theo and Otto fired the Tau Cannon on them. They called for help, but it was too late. Ed and Sid had now been teleported into the real world where they couldn’t find their railway and couldn’t speak to other engines because the real life preserved engines couldn’t communicate with them. With fear being the only emotion they could feel, Ed and Sid set off in search of a way home.
@NorthernSoulExpress
Wait, does this mean trains on a shelf may return? Great episode.
@bluespino2023
