Well, that long black train
Yeah, rollin' down that track
Yeah, long black train
Please carry me back
Well, I left my baby
So very long ago

[Chorus]
Yeah, gotta roll on long train
Roll on long train
Yeah, roll on long train
Roll on long-long train
Roll on train
Carry me back home

Well, that long black train
Is a-puffin' smoke I know
Yeah, that long black train
Is a-puffin' smoke I know
It's a burnin' rail
Carry me back home

Yeah, that long black train
Is rollin' down that track
Yeah, long black train
Please carry me back
Well, I left my baby
So very long ago
