Mystery Train

(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...
