Lyrics for Mystery Train

Train arrive, 16 coaches long Train arrive, 16 coaches long Well, that long black train Got 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 her train's a-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, rollin' down, down the line Train, train, rollin' down, down the line Well, it took my baby And left poor me behind Heard that whistle blowin' On 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
