Mystery Train
As performed 2008-04-09 on Spectacle: Elvis Costello with...
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well that long black train
Got my baby and gone
Train train rolling down the track
Train train rolling down the track
Don't want no ride
Just want my baby back
Got down to the station
I was waitin' at the gate
I asked the station master
If the train is running late
He said "If you're a-waiting
On the 444
I hate to tell you son
That train don't stop here anymore"
Mystery train rolling down the bend
Train train rolling round the bend
Don't want no ride
Want my baby back home again
Train train rolling down the track
Train train rolling down the track
Don't want no ride
Just want my baby
Just want my baby
Just want my baby back
Just want my baby back
Alternate verses performed 2009-08-28, Toronto:
Got down to the station
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was pulling out of sight
Mystery train windows painted red
Mystery train windows painted red
Death black train has
Got my baby and fled
