Lyrics

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia] Train, train, rolling down the track Train, train, rolling down the track Well, it took away my baby You know it ain't coming back [Verse 1: Jerry Garcia] Train arrive sixteen coaches long Train arrive sixteen coaches long The woman I love She's on that train and gone [Bridge: Jerry Garcia] Said I went down to the station To meet my baby at the gate Asked the station master "Is the train running late?" "Son, have you been waiting for the four-forty-four? Hate to tell you, boy, that train don't stop here anymore" [Chorus: Jerry Garcia] Train, train, rolling down the track Train, train, rolling down the track Well, it took away my baby You know it ain't coming back [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2: Jerry Garcia] Train arrive sixteen coaches long Train arrive sixteen coaches long Long black train My baby's gone [Chorus: Jerry Garcia] Train, train, rolling down the track Train, train, rolling down the track Well, it took away my baby You know it ain't coming back [Bridge: Jerry Garcia] Well, I went down to the station To meet my baby at the gate Asked the station master "Is the train running late?" "Son, have you been waiting for the four-forty-four? Hate to tell you, boy, that train don't run here anymore" [Chorus: Jerry Garcia] Train, train, rolling down the track Train, train, rolling down the track Well, it took away my baby You know it ain't coming back [Outro: Jerry Garcia] Took away my baby You know it ain't coming back Took away my baby You know it ain't coming back
