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
