(Herman Parker/Sam Phillips)

Train arrive 16 coaches long 
Train arrive 16 coaches long 
Well that long black train 
Took my baby back home 

Train train rolling round the bend 
Train train rolling round the bend 
Well it took my baby 
Away from me again 

Went down to the station 
To meet my baby at the gate 
Ask the station master 
If her train is running late 
He said no if your wait 
on that old 44 
I hate to tell you son 
But that train don't stop her anymore 

Train train rolling round the bend 
Train train rolling round the bend 
Well it took my baby 
Away from me again 

Heard that whistle blowing 
It was the middle of the night 
When I got down to the station 
The train was rolling out of site 

Mystery train rolling round the bend 
Mystery train rolling round the bend 
Well it took my baby 
Away from me again
