Lyrics
Train I ride, fifteen coaches long (note 1)
Train I ride, fifteen coaches long
Well that long black train took my baby and gone
Train I ride, coming down the track
Train I ride, coming down the track
It took my baby, and it's never comin' back
Train I ride, fifteen coaches long
Train I ride, fifteen coaches long
Took my baby, you know it ain't never coming back
Train, train, going down the track
Train, train, going down the track
Took my baby, you know it ain't never coming back
