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
