Night Train Lyrics
Here I’m going
Walkin’ with my baby in my arms
’Cause I am in the wrong end of the
eight-ball black
And the devil, see, he’s right
behind us,
And this worker said she’s gonna take
my little baby
My little angel back
But they won’t getcha,
’Cause I’m right here witcha
On the Night Train
Swing low, Saint Cadillac
Tearin’ down the alley
And I’m reachin’ so high for ya,
Don’t let ’em take me back
Broken like valiums and chumps
in the rain
That cry and quiver
When a blue horizon is sleeping in
the station
With a ticket for a train,
Surely mine will deliver me there
Here she comes...
I’m safe here with you
On the Night Train
Oh mamma, mamma,
Concrete is wheeling by
Down at the end of a lullaby
On the Night Train
Walkin’ with my baby in my arms
’Cause I am in the wrong end of the
eight-ball black
And the devil, see, he’s right
behind us,
And this worker said she’s gonna take
my little baby
My little angel back
But they won’t getcha,
’Cause I’m right here witcha
On the Night Train
Tearin’ down the alley
And I’m reachin’ so high for ya,
Don’t let ’em take me back
Broken like valiums and chumps
in the rain
That cry and quiver
When a blue horizon is sleeping in
the station
With a ticket for a train,
Surely mine will deliver me there
I’m safe here with you
On the Night Train
Oh mamma, mamma,
Concrete is wheeling by
Down at the end of a lullaby
On the Night Train

Travelling by train somewhere. I think this is her best song. Some capable studio musicians on the album track. e.g Buzzy Feiten, Fred Tackett, Red Callender, Victor Feldman.
@Icon6386 I agree, the lyrics don't even have to mean anything. It's a feeling. The track is just pure gold.

@charles108 I agree with u. The whole track is about the feeling of traveling.

A mother getting her child back from care? First verse indicating she went astray but then has gotten things in order and is now reunited with her kid.
