NEW RIVER TRAIN
I’m ridin’ that New River train
I’m ridin’ that New River train
That same old train that brought me here
Is soon gonna carry me away
Darlin’ you can’t love one
Darlin’ you can’t love one
You can’t love one and have any fun
Oh darlin’ you can’t love one
Oh darlin’ you can’t love two
oh darlin’ you can’t love two
You can’t love two and your little heart be true
Oh darlin’ you can’t love two
Darlin’ you cant love three
Darlin’ you cant love three
You can’t love three and still be true to me
Oh darlin’ you cant love three
Oh darlin’ you cant love four
darlin’ you cant love four
You can’t love four amd love any more
Oh darlin’ you cant love four
Darlin’ you cant love five
Oh darlin’ you cant love five
You can’t love five and get honey from my beehive
Oh darlin’ you cant love five
