Mystery Train - The Band, Paul Butterfield

Train arrive 16 coaches long

Train arrive 16 coaches long

Well that long black train

Got my baby and gone

Train train rolling round the bend

Train train rolling round 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 the train’s running late

He said «If you’re a-waiting

on the 444

I hate to tell you son

That train don’t stop here anymore»

Train train rolling down down the line

Train train rolling down the line

Well it took my baby

And left poor me behind

-Solo-

Heard that whistle blowing

It was the middle of the night

When I got down to the station

The train was pulling out of sight

Mystery train smoking down the track

Mystery train smoking down the track

Well I don’t want no ride

Just bring my baby back
