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, '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, all mine
(She's mine, all, all mine)


Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend 'round the bend
Train, train, comin' 'round the bend 'round the bend
Well it took my baby, but it never will again never will again
