Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well, that long black train
Got my baby go

Train, train, rolling around the bend
Train, train, rolling around the bend
Well, it took my baby
'Way from me again

Come down to the station
Meet my baby at the gate
I ask the station master
If that train is running late

He said, "If you're waitin'
On that four forty four
I hate to tell you, son
Train don't stop here anymore"

Train arrive comin' down at night
Train arrive comin' down at night
Well, it took my baby
Left for me behind

Heard that whistle blowing
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
Train was pullin' out of sight

Mystery train smoking down the track
Mystery train, yeah, smoking down the track
Well, I don't want to ride, just bring my baby back
