Mystery Train (Live at Keystone, Berkeley, CA, November 2, 1974) Lyrics by Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders

GarciaLive Volume 18

2022

[Verse 1]
Train, train, coming down the track
Train, train, coming down the track
Took away my baby, Lord, you know it ain't bringin' her back
[Verse 2]
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
The woman I love, you know
You know she's on that train and gone
Long black train took my baby and gone
[Bridge]
When I went down to the station, meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master, "Is the train running late?"
"Son, if you've been waiting for the 4-44
Hate to tell you, boy, that train won't stop here anymore"
[Verse 3]
Train, train, running down the track
Train, train, running down the track
Took away my baby, Lord, you know it ain't bringin' her back
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
The woman I love, you know
She's on that train and gone
[Verse 5]
Train, train, running down the track
Train, train, running down the track
Took away my baby, Lord, you know it ain't bringin' hеr back
[Bridge]
When I went down to the station, meet my baby at thе gate
Asked the station master, "Train running late?"
"Son, if you've been waiting for the 4-44
Hate to tell you, boy, that train don't come here anymore"
[Verse 6]
Train, train, running down the track
Train, train, running down the track
Took away my baby, you know it ain't coming back
[Outro]
Took away my baby, I know it ain't coming back
Took away my baby, Lord, you know it ain't comin' back
Sorry, everybody. See you later. 2 o'clock, night night
