Train Kept A-rollin` Lyrics

Train Kept A-rollin`

(T. Bradshaw / L. Mann / H. Kay)

 Studio version

 This version has a double-tracked vocal from Keith Relf (recorded two
different dates). The lyrics are slightly altered. I have tried to capture the
vocal mixed in the background in '()' brackets following the main lyric.

 

 I caught the train, I met a dame,

 She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,

 (She was handsome,)

 She was pretty, from New York City,

 Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane,

 (Goin' on,)

 With a heave, and a ho,

 (Wo,)

 Well, I just couldn't let her go.

 (Yes I did,)

 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

 Be on your way,

 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

 Be on your way,

 With a heave, and a ho,

 (Love the way you walk,)

 I just couldn't let her go.

 (Yes I do now.)

 

 Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 (Sweet little woman, get along,)

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 ([You're my queen?])

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 (Sweet little woman, get along,)

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 ([You're my queen?])

 With a heave, and a ho,

 (Love the way you walk,)

 Well I just couldn't let her go,

 (Yes I do.)

 

 We made a stop at Albuquerque,

 She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,

 We got out the train in El Paso,

 Lookin' so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go.

 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

 (Oh, right,)

 Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 With a heave, and a ho,

 Well I just couldn't let her go.

 BBC version

 I caught the train, I met a dame,

 She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,

 She was pretty, from New York City,

 Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane.

 With a heave, and a ho,

 And I just couldn't let her go,

 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

 Better be on your way,

 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

 Better be on your way,

 With a heave, and a ho,

 I just couldn't let her go,

 No.

 

 Yeah, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

 With a heave, and a ho,

 Just couldn't let her go,

 No.

 

 We made a stop at Albuquerque,

 She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,

 We got out the train in El Paso,

 Lookin' so good, that I couldn't let 'er go.

 With a heave, and a ho,

 I just couldn't let her go,

 Get along, sweet little woman get along,

 Better be on your way,

 Get along, sweet little woman get along,

 Be on your way,

 With a heave, and a ho,

 I just couldn't let her go,

 No.
