Lyrics The Band – Mystery Train

Play a little blues? Paul Butterfield..

Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well that long black train

Train, train rollin’ around the bend
Train, train, train, rollin’ around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

Come down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master
If my train’s a-running late
He said «If you’re a-waiting
on the 444
I hate to tell you son
That train don’t stop here any more»

Train train, train, rollin’, around the bend
Train train, train, rollin’, around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

Solo

Heard that whistle blowin’
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was pulling out of sight

Mystery train rollin’ around the bend
Mystery train rollin’ around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again
