Mystery Train Kept A Rollin'

|
|
Well the train rolled into station about 1955
|
I’ve never been to Memphis
|
But ohhhhh man alive
|
The town was really buzzin’
|
About this cat from Tennessee
|
The boy who shook his hips
|
Was such a shocking sight to see
|
He was a devil don’t you know
|
This greasy cat from Tupelo
|
Sit right back you rockin cats
|
And just enjoy the show
|
|
Aaaye,
|
I heard the whistle blowin
|
But it was so much more than that
|
There was a guitar and a singer
|
And this big bass they would slap
|
I saw Montana passin
|
And I waved g-bye (ohh-hoo)
|
Cause that mystery train done hooked me
|
Like old bourbon whiskey and rye
