Well she comes out at night with the cold winds of DecemberAnd when it's quiet you hear her engines cryShe blows smoke out her wheels and her gears pound the steelAs they carry her down the lineNow I'm sure you've heard stories as most of us haveIn the lunch counter and barber shop kidsShe's the Ghost of Virginia and from here up to RichmondShe runs by the light of the MoonWell a few years back on the old Suffick RoadWhere it crosses the abandoned rail lineMy Grandpa claimed that he'd seen a freight trainAnd it wasn't no sleek stream lineShe was cold black and steel and she screamed as she cutHer way clear of the pinesBut he swears to this day he can feel the earth shakeAnd smell her smoke when the wind's just rightYeah but back in her day she was a real working horseHaulin' coal out for old man WardShe was tied up with ribbons and set out to RichmondHaulin' soldiers during the warAh but some say she wrecked and she rides these railsLetras de cancionesHopin' one day that she'll get it rightOthers say she roams out picking up lost soulsCarryin 'em down to CarolinaSo if you're ever out on the old Suffick RoadAnd you see this strangest of sightsShe's the Ghost of Virginia bound from Raleigh up to RichmondAnd you'd best stay out of her lineYeah you'd best stay out of her line From Letras Mania
