Marshall Crenshaw - Who Stole That Train lyrics

rate me

(Hy Heath)

Who stole that train off the track?

Whoever took it better come and put it back

I heard that engine whistle blow

It should have been here long ago (now)

Who stole that train off the track?

My baby wrote and said that she

Was coming home on "93" but

who stole that train off the track?

I been waitin' here since early dawn

The depot's closed, the agents gone

Who stole that train off the track?

(I said a) Who stole that train off the track?

Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back?

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

It should have been here long ago

Who stole that train off the track?

Well I looked above me in the sky

and saw the smoke a risin' high but

who stole that train off the track?

That smoke was hangin' in the air

but there was no engine anywhere

(now) Who stole that train off the track?

(I said a) who stole that train off the track?

Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back

Someone's playin' a joke on me

They'd better bring my baby

Who stole that train off the track?

Well I looked and saw a cloud of steam

and plainly heard a whistle scream but

who stole that train off the track?

And I looked again with all my might

But still no engine came in sight (now)

Who stole that train off the track?

(I said a) who stole that train off the track?

Whoever took it better come and put it back

I heard that engine whistle blow

It should have been here long ago (now)

Who stole that train off the track?
