[Chorus]
Train, train, running down the track
Train, train, running down the track
Long black train, you know it ain't coming back

[Verse 1]
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Long black train took my baby and gone

[Bridge]
Well, I went down to the station to meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master, "Is the train running late?"
"Son, if you've been waiting for the 4-44
Hate to tell you, boy, that train don't run here anymore"

[Chorus]
Train, running down the track
Train, train, running down the track
Took away my baby, you know it ain't bringing her back

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I went down to the station to meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master, said, "Train running late?"
"Son, if you've been waiting for the 4-44
Hate to tell you, boy, that train don't run here anymore"
[Chorus]
Train, running down the track
Train, running down the track
Took away my baby, you know it ain't bringing her back

[Outro]
Took away my baby, you know it ain't bringing her back
Took away my baby, you know it ain't bringing her back
