Train Kept A-Rollin'

An old blues song; this version is from Aerosmith's "Get Your Wings"





Well, on a train, I met a dame,

She rather handsome, but (???) the same

She was pretty, from New York City

I'm walkin' down that old fair lane,

I'm in heat, I'm in love,

But I just couldn't tell her so



I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

With a "heave!", and a "ho!"

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no



Well, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way,

I'm in heat, I'm in love,

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no



Well, on a train, I met a dame,

She rather handsome, but (???) the same

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no



Well, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way,

I'm in heat, I'm in love,

But I just couldn't tell her



Well, we made a stop in Albequerque

She must'a thought I was a real cool jerk

Got off the train, and put her hands up

Lookin' so good I couldn't let her go

But I just couldn't tell her so



I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

Train kept a-rollin' all night long

I'm in heat, I'm in love,

But I just couldn't tell her
