This train don't stop for no one

This train got a mind of its own

This train don't wait for no one

This train, I'm gonna leave this town



This train don't show no mercy

This train doesn't have a name

This train coming down from Memphis

This train like a hurricane



My baby don't cry for no one

My baby she is tough as nails

My baby likes to walk alone now

My baby likes to ride the rail

(Oh I'm leavin', baby!)



My baby she got her own ways

My baby she can make me sad

My baby comes down like a hammer

My baby she gone and hurt me bad



This train forty miles from nowhere

This train stays on the track

This train is comin' and goin'

But this train ain't never comin' back
