Train Kept A-Rollin'
4
(T. Bradshaw / L. Mann / H. Kay)

Studio version
6
This version has a double-tracked vocal from Keith Relf (recorded two different dates). The lyrics are slightly altered. I have tried to capture the vocal mixed in the background in '()' brackets following the main lyric.
7
I caught the train, I met a dame,
8
She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,
9
(She was handsome,)
10
She was pretty, from New York City,
11
Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane,
12
(Goin' on,)
13
With a heave, and a ho,
14
(Wo,)
15
Well, I just couldn't let her go.
16
(Yes I did,)
17
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
18
Be on your way,
19
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
20
Be on your way,
21
With a heave, and a ho,
22
(Love the way you walk,)
23
I just couldn't let her go.
24
(Yes I do now.)
25
Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
26
(Sweet little woman, get along,)
27
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
28
([You're my queen?])
29
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
30
(Sweet little woman, get along,)
31
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
32
([You're my queen?])
33
With a heave, and a ho,
34
(Love the way you walk,)
35
Well I just couldn't let her go,
36
(Yes I do.)
37
We made a stop at Albuquerque,
38
She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,
39
We got out the train in El Paso,
40
Lookin' so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go.
41
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
42
(Oh, right,)
43
Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
44
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
45
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
46
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
47
With a heave, and a ho,
48
Well I just couldn't let her go.
