E        A                    E
Train I ride sixteen coaches long
E        A                    E
Train I ride sixteen coaches long
           B7               A               E
Well that long black train got my baby and gone

Chorus:
E       A                        E
Train train  rollin' around the bend
E       A                        E
Train train, rollin' around the bend
         B7            A            E
Well it took my baby away from me again

E
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"e

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

E
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

Chorus:
Mystery train rollin' around the bend
Mystery train rollin' around the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again
