LyricMeaning

Train Kept A Rollin'
The Yardbirds

(T. Bradshaw / L. Mann / H. Kay)

Studio version

This version has a double-tracked vocal from Keith Relf (recorded two different dates). The lyrics are slightly altered. I have tried to capture the vocal mixed in the background in '()' brackets following the main lyric.


I caught the train, I met a dame,

She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,

(She was handsome,)

She was pretty, from New York City,

Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane,

(Goin' on,)

With a heave, and a ho,

(Wo,)

Well, I just couldn't let her go.

(Yes I did,)

Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

Be on your way,

Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

Be on your way,

With a heave, and a ho,

(Love the way you walk,)

I just couldn't let her go.

(Yes I do now.)


Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,

(Sweet little woman, get along,)

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

([You're my queen?])

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

(Sweet little woman, get along,)

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

([You're my queen?])

With a heave, and a ho,

(Love the way you walk,)

Well I just couldn't let her go,

(Yes I do.)


We made a stop at Albuquerque,

She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,

We got out the train in El Paso,

Lookin' so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go.

Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

(Oh, right,)

Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

With a heave, and a ho,

Well I just couldn't let her go.

Bbc version

I caught the train, I met a dame,

She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,

She was pretty, from New York City,

Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane.

With a heave, and a ho,

And I just couldn't let her go,

Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

Better be on your way,

Get along, sweet little woman, get along,

Better be on your way,

With a heave, and a ho,

I just couldn't let her go,

No.


Yeah, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

With a heave, and a ho,

Just couldn't let her go,

No.


We made a stop at Albuquerque,

She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,

We got out the train in El Paso,

Lookin' so good, that I couldn't let 'er go.

With a heave, and a ho,

I just couldn't let her go,

Get along, sweet little woman get along,

Better be on your way,

Get along, sweet little woman get along,

Be on your way,

With a heave, and a ho,

I just couldn't let her go,

No.
