SHAGGY

MMMM

This girl got me waiting and the time has come for a decision to be made

OH YES OOH WELL

Tell them Ken Boothe

Ken Boothe

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW

SO LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING, WAITING FOR YOU, (wait on my knees) OH LORD

NOW THE TIME HAS COME, WHEN IT'S BETWEEN YOU AND ME, OH LORD

BECAUSE THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

AND I AM LEAVING ON THAT TRAIN, LORD

SHAGGY

Woman me a go away and me naw come back

Stand up at the station with me suitcase packed

Gal how me love you but me naw turn back

Tell me right now this minute if you you coming or not

Stand up at the station at about six o'clock

Rain it a pour and lightning start to flash

I man wonder to myself whether she coming or not

Or it's about time I man wake up and face the fact

Well she find a new love and it's holding her back

That is why I'm standing by myself on the railroad track

Boop boop bop, heart a beat non-stop

There's no wonders or signs are you coming back

Ken Boothe

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW

EVERYDAY I PRAY FOR THIS LITTLE HOUR, OOH YAU

NOW THE TIME HAS COME AND I WANT YOU TO STAND BY ME, HA

BECAUSE THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY, MM

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW

AND WE WILL ROAM THIS LAND, MMM, WHERE WE ALL WILL BE FREE, LORD

SHAGGY

Look how long she have the general a wait

Time a run out and it a get kinda late

I am losing patience I'm in a bad state

Set me foot up on the train you naw go see me back again

Well me life long romance gone down the drain

All of a sudden me sunshine turn into rain

Fun and laughters into sorrows and pain

All because you left me waiting in vain

So me say women me love you but me naw come back

Stand up a the station with me suitcase packed

SHAGGY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW

SO LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING, WAITING FOR YOU, OH LORD

NOW THE TIME HAS COME AND I WANT YOU TO STAND BY ME, HA

BECAUSE THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW

I SAY THE TRAIN IS COMING BABY

AND WE ARE LEAVING ON THAT TRAIN, LORD

SHAGGY

Woman me a go away and me naw come back

Stand up at the station with me suitcase packed

Gal how me love you but me naw come back

Tell me right now this minute whether you coming or not
