Train arrived, 16 coaches long Train arrived, 16 coaches long Well that long, black train, got my baby and gone Train train, rollin' round the bend Train train, rollin' round the bend Well it took my baby 'way from me again Come down to the station, meet my baby at the gate Asked the station master if that train is runnin' late He said - if you're waitin' on the 444 I hate to tell you son, (that) train don't stop here anymore
