Elvis Presley - Mystery Train Lyrics

Elvis Presley Lyrics

"Mystery Train"

Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well, that long black train got my baby and gone

Train, train, coming 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, coming 'round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
No, not again

Train, train, coming down, down the line
Train, train, coming down the line
Well, it's bringing my baby, 'cause she's mine all, all mine
She's mine, all, all mine

Train, train, coming 'round, 'round the bend
'Round, 'round the bend
Train, train, coming 'round, 'round the bend
'Round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
Never will again
Ooh, whoa
