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 mama, mama,
Concrete is wheeling by
Down at the end of a lullaby
On the night train

    General CommentTravelling 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.
