GWell she comes out aCt night with Gthe cold winds of December
and whenC its quiet you hGear her engines cry
She blows sGmoke at her wheels and her gCears pound the sGteel
as they Ccarry her Don down the lGine
Now I'm sure you've heard stories as most of us have
at the lunch counter and barber shop (not sure what he says here)
She's the ghost of Virginia and from here up to Richmond
She runs by the light of her (not sure what he says here either)
Well a few years back on the old Suffick Road
where it crosses the abandoned rail line
My grandpa claimed that he'd seen a freight train
and it wasn't no sleek stream line
She was cold black and steel and she screamed as she cut
her way clear of the pines
But he swears to this day he can feel the earth shake
and smell her smoke when the winds just right
Yeah but back in her day she was a real working horse
haulin coal for old man Warren
She was tied up in ribbons and set out of Richmond
haulin soldiers during the war
Some say she wrecked and she rides these rails
hopin one day she'll get it right
Others say she romes out pickin up lost souls and
carryin 'em down to Caroline
So if you're ever out on the old Suffick Road
and see this strangest of sights
She's the ghost of Virginia bound from Raliegh up to Richmond
and you'd best stay out of her line
Yeah you'd best stay out of her line
