Lyrics
I caught a train, met a dame She was a hipster, we kind looked 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 let her go Well, get along, sweet little woman get along On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along On your way With a heave and a ho But I just couldn’t tell her so We made a stop in Albuquerque She musta 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 With a heave and a ho But I just couldn’t tell her soOriginally released by Tiny Bradshaw in 1951 as a single.
