about

Recorded in July 1998, a few months after the release of Ticket to Fly, which had actually been finished three years earlier, but a label switch to Sumertone, Merl's label, delayed the released.

This song was recorded live at the historic RCA Studio B, with Fred Bogert leading the band on piano, my now late bass player Stan Rawls, Chris Munson on drums, Dennis Robbins on slide, me on guitar and vocals, and Fred with Jennifer Domingo singing backing vocals, while Vassar Clements made my dream come true and laid down an amazing fiddle part. Lee Owen engineered.

lyrics

Train I ride, 16 coaches long
Train I ride, 16 coaches long
Long black train took my baby and gone

Train, train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, comin' 'round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it ain't coming back again

Train, train, rolling up and down that track
Train, train, rolling up and down that track
Well, it took my baby, but it ain't coming back

Train I ride, 16 coaches long
Train I ride, 16 coaches long
Long black train took my baby and gone
