Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Great fiddle player Mack Jonsson, originally from Quesnel, BC. performing 'Reuben's Train'. Busking in Victoria, BC Canada, on August 06, 2011.
Very talented fiddle player.

'Reuben's Train'.
Lyrics
"Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track
He ran it to the Lord knows where
Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where

Should been in town when Reuben's train went down
You could hear that whistle blow 100 miles
Oh me, oh my you could hear the whistle blow 100 miles

Last night I lay in jail had no money to go my bail
Lord how it sleeted & it snowed
Oh me, oh my Lord how it sleeted & it snowed

I've been to the East, I've been to the West
I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow
Oh me, oh my I'm going where the chilly winds don't blow

Oh the train that I ride is 100 coaches long
You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles
Oh me, oh my you can hear the whistle blow 100 miles

I got myself a blade, laid Reuben in the shade
I'm startin' me a graveyard of my own
Oh, me, oh lordy my, startin' me a graveyard of my own

Ol Reuben made a train & he put it on a track
He ran it to the Lord knows where
Oh me, oh my ran it to the Lord knows where"
