Who stole that train off the track?
Whoever took it better come and put it back
I heard that engine whistle blow
It should have been here long ago (now)
Who stole that train off the track?
My baby wrote and said that she
Was coming home on "93" but
who stole that train off the track?
I been waitin' here since early dawn
The depot's closed, the agents gone
Who stole that train off the track?
(I said a) Who stole that train off the track?
Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back?
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
It should have been here long ago
Who stole that train off the track?
Well I looked above me in the sky
and saw the smoke a risin' high but
who stole that train off the track?
That smoke was hangin' in the air
but there was no engine anywhere
(now) Who stole that train off the track?
(I said a) who stole that train off the track?
Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back
Someone's playin' a joke on me
They'd better bring my baby
Who stole that train off the track?
Well I looked and saw a cloud of steam
and plainly heard a whistle scream but
who stole that train off the track?
And I looked again with all my might
But still no engine came in sight (now)
Who stole that train off the track?
(I said a) who stole that train off the track?
Whoever took it better come and put it back
I heard that engine whistle blow
It should have been here long ago (now)
Who stole that train off the track?
