  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?
