Mystery Train Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train took my baby and gone

[Verse 2]
Train train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
(Mystery train, mystery train)
Train train, comin' 'round, round the bend
(Mystery train, mystery train)
Well it took my baby, but it never will again
No, not again

[Verse 3]
Train train, comin' down, down the line
(Mystery train, mystery train)
Train train, comin' down, down the line
(Mystery train, mystery train)
Well it's bringin' back my baby, because she's mine, all mine

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Train train, comin' down, down the line
(Mystery train, mystery train)
Train train, comin' down, down the line
(Mystery train, mystery train)
Well it's bringin' back my baby, because she's mine, all mine
[Outro]
(Wooh, wooh)
(Wooh, wooh)
Train, train, train (Mystery train, mystery train)
Train, train, coming 'round, 'round the bend (Wooh, wooh)
(Mystery train, mystery train)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
