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
