lyrics

I admit to taking some liberties with these classic lyrics

Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well that long black train
Got my baby and gone

Train train rolling round the bend
Train train rolling round the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

Come down to the station
Meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master
If the train’s running late
He said if you’re a-waiting
On that train 444
I hate to tell you son
That train don’t stop here anymore

mystery train smoking down the line
mystery Train smoking down the line
Well it took my baby
And left poor me behind

train....baby took that train

Went back down the tracks
to find my baby at the railroad station
thinking it might just be
all in my imagination
Heard that whistle blowing
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
That train was pulling out of sight

Mystery train smoking down the track
Mystery train smoking down the track
Well I don’t want no ride
Just bring my baby back
Well I don’t want no ride
Just bring my baby back
Well I don’t want no ride
Just bring my baby back.....
