Mystery Train Lyrics
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
Got my baby and gone
Train train, comin' round round the bend
Train train, comin' round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again, no not again
Train train, comin' down down the line
Train train, comin' down the line
Well it's bringin' my baby
'Cause she's mine all mine
Train train, comin' round round the bend
Train train, comin' round round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again, never will
Ooooh woo
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
Got my baby and gone
Train train, comin' round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again, no not again
Train train, comin' down the line
Well it's bringin' my baby
'Cause she's mine all mine
Train train, comin' round round the bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again, never will

Its amazing to observe almost nil comments on this great singer!
The lyrics are quite straightforward, without metaphors. The song's main appeal lies in the guitar work, simple-sounding but deceptively difficult to play. Originally written by Sam Phillips and recorded by Junior Parker, another Sun Studios artist.
Magnifique!
Mystery Train is arguably the platonic ideal of Sam Phillips’ million dollar idea.
<2:00 of the greatest rock n roll you’ll ever get to hear.
