Studio version
|
This version has a double-tracked vocal from Keith Relf (recorded two different dates). The lyrics are slightly altered. I have tried to capture the vocal mixed in the background in '()' brackets following the main lyric.
|
|
I caught the train, I met a dame,
|
She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,
|
(She was handsome,)
|
She was pretty, from New York City,
|
Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane,
|
(Goin' on,)
|
With a heave, and a ho,
|
(Wo,)
|
Well, I just couldn't let her go.
|
(Yes I did,)
|
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
|
Be on your way,
|
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
|
Be on your way,
|
With a heave, and a ho,
|
(Love the way you walk,)
|
I just couldn't let her go.
|
(Yes I do now.)
|
|
Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
(Sweet little woman, get along,)
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
([You're my queen?])
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
(Sweet little woman, get along,)
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
([You're my queen?])
|
With a heave, and a ho,
|
(Love the way you walk,)
|
Well I just couldn't let her go,
|
(Yes I do.)
|
|
We made a stop at Albuquerque,
|
She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,
|
We got out the train in El Paso,
|
Lookin' so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go.
|
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
|
(Oh, right,)
|
Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
With a heave, and a ho,
|
Well I just couldn't let her go.

BBC version
|
I caught the train, I met a dame,
|
She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,
|
She was pretty, from New York City,
|
Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane.
|
With a heave, and a ho,
|
And I just couldn't let her go,
|
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
|
Better be on your way,
|
Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
|
Better be on your way,
|
With a heave, and a ho,
|
I just couldn't let her go,
|
No.
|

Yeah, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
|
The train kept a-rollin', all night long,

She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,

We got out the train in El Paso,
|
Lookin' so good, that I couldn't let 'er go.
|
With a heave, and a ho,
|
I just couldn't let her go,

Get along, sweet little woman get along,
