"Train Kept A-Rollin" is a song written by Tiny Bradshaw, Howard Kay, and Lois Mann. Bradshaw first recorded the song in 1951, it was his best known recording. After a rock and roll version of the song was recorded and released by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio in 1956, numerous other such versions have been recorded since. [from wikipedia]

Yardbirds recorded this in '65, 9 years after Burnette, and 14 years after Bradshaw.

Original first verse is:

I caught a train, I met a dame She was a hepster, and a real gone dame She was pretty, from New York City And we trucked on down that old fair lane With a heave and a ho, well i just couldn't let her go
