Lyrics
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well, that long black train, got my baby and gone
Train, train, comin’ round the bend
Train, train, comin’ round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
No, not again
Train, train, comin’ down, down the line
Train, train, comin’ down, down the line
Well, it’s bringin’ my baby, ’cause she’s mine, all mine
She’s mine, all mine
Train, train, comin’ round, round the bend
Round, round the bend
Train, train, comin’ round, round the bend
Round, round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
Never will again
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-hoo
