The Soft Boys
Mystery Train
Train I ride is sixteen coaches long
Train I ride is sixteen coaches long
Well, that long black train take my baby and gone

Train, train, rolling round the bend
Train, train, rolling round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again

I come down to the station
See that man at the gate
Oh, Mr. Station Master "Will that train be runnin' late?"
He said "If you're a-waiting on the 4:44
I hate to tell you son that train don't stop here no more"

Mystery train rolling down the track
Mystery train rolling 'round the track
I don't want no ride, just bring my baby back

Oh, bring her home

Come down to the station in the middle of the night
When I moved in through that hole that train was pullin' out of sight

Mystery train rolling 'round the line
Mystery train rolling 'round the line
Well, it took my baby, left po' me behind

Train I ride is sixteen coaches long
Train I ride is sixteen coaches long
Well, that long black train take my baby and gone
Well, that long black train took my baby and gone
