LYRICS

Train I ride, 16 coaches long

Train I ride, 16 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 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 (around and around the bend)

Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend ('round the bend)

Well, it took my baby

But it never will again, it never will again
