Mystery Train Lyrics

Train I ride 16 coaches long
Train I ride 16 coaches long
Well that big black train
Took my baby along

Train, train movin’ round the bend
Train, train movin’ round the bend, round the bend
Well he took my baby
But he never will again

I'm just taking a guess here, but I'm pretty sure this is an old blues cover. The lyrics and their repetitiveness seem to point in that direction, like Robert
Johnson or John Lee Hooker or somebody like that. Kinda reminds me of Johnson's "Love in Vain"
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
