[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
Train, rolling down the track
Train, rolling down the track
It took away my baby
You know it ain't coming back

[Verse 1: Jerry Garcia]
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
The woman I love
She's on that train and gone

[Bridge: Jerry Garcia]
Well, I went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master
"Is the train running late?"
"Son, have you been waiting for the four-forty-four?
Hate to tell you, boy, that train don't run here anymore"

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
Train, rolling down the track
Train, rolling down the track
It took away my baby
You know it ain't coming back
[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
Train, rolling down the track
Train, train, rolling down the track
It took away my baby
You know it ain't coming back

[Verse 2: Jerry Garcia]
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
The woman I love
She's on that train and gone

[Bridge: Jerry Garcia]
Well, I went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Asked the station master
"Is the train running late?"
"Son, have you been waiting for the four-forty-four?
Hate to tell you, boy, that train don't run here anymore"

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
Train, rolling down the track
Train, rolling down the track
Long black train
You know it ain't coming back
[Outro: Jerry Garcia]
Long black train
You know it ain't coming back
It took my baby
You know it ain't coming back
