People get ready there's a train a comin'
You don't need a ticket
Climb on board
Train arrive
Sixteen coaches long
Train arrive
Sixteen coaches long
Well that mean old train
Took my baby
He's gone
Train, train
Coming 'round the bend
Train, train
Coming 'round the bend
Yeah that mean old evil train
Took my one and only friend
Train, train
Coming down the line
Train, train
Coming down the line
Well that mean old rotten train
Took the only friend of mine
Train, train
Coming down the track
Train, train
Coming down the track
Yeah he took my baby
And he never bring her back, alright
Away, away, away
Away in india
Away, away, away
Away in India
Well, I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind
Well, I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind
Don't know what's going to be, everything will work out fine
Well, I woke up this morning got nothing on my mind
Don't know what's going to be, everything will work out fine
Well, I woke up this morning got the h-bomb on my mind
Well, I woke up this morning got the h-bomb on my mind
Everything, everything will work out fine, yeah
Well, I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind
Well, I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind
Don't know what's going to be, everything, everything, everything, everything gonna work out fine
Train, train
Come and gone
Took my baby
Took my baby
Took my love
Away
Well, I woke up this morning, yeah
Nothing on my mind
