Thrown off the bridge
To the river by the ridge
Was the iron mountain baby

A man walking by
Said he heard a little cry
And he found him in a suitcase

Fifty feet down from the train to the ground
It's a miracle that he survived
What are the chances that a man would be standin' there
And take him home to his wife

Sarah Jane
Sarah Jane
Be a mama to the boy from the train

Five days old with a hand that could hold in a grip around your finger
Old Sarah Jane no she never did complain 'cause she loved the little
Stranger

She brought him back to health
And she kept him for herself
When some women tried to claim him

"If you'd been a good mama then you never would've wanna
Gone and thrown him off of the train then"
