[Verse 1]
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Long black train took my baby and gone
Train, train, coming down the track
The train, coming down the track
Took my baby, you know it ain't bringin’ her back

[Bridge]
When I went down to the station, 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"

[Verse 2]
Train, running down the line
Train, running down the line
Took away my baby, she’s gone on down the line

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
When I went down to the station, meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master, "Is thе train running late?"
"Son, if you've been waiting for the 4-44
Hatе to tell you, boy, this train don't run here anymore"
[Outro]
Train, train, rolling round the bend
Train, rolling round the bend
Took away my baby, I'll never see her again
Took away my baby, I'll never see her again
Took away my baby, I'll never see her again
