Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well that long black train
Took my baby and gone

Train, train rollin' around the bend
Train, train rollin' around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

Come down to the station
Meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master
If the train's running late
He said "If you're a-waiting
On the 444
I hate to tell you son
That train don't stop here any more"

Train, train comin' down, down the line
Train, train rollin' down the line
Well it took my baby
And left poor me behind

-Solo-
Heard that whistle blowin'
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was pulling out of sight

Mystery train smokin' down the track
Mystery train smokin' down the track
Well I don't want no ride
Just bring my baby back
