Who Stole That Train

Who stole that train off the track?

Whoever took it better come and put it back

I heard that engine whistle blow

It should've 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've been waiting here since early dawn

The depot's closed, the agent's gone

Who stole that train off the track?

I said, who stole that train off the track?

Who stole that train that was bringing my girl back?

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

It should've been here long ago

Now who stole that train off the track?

I looked above me in the sky

And saw the smoke a-rising high

But who stole that train off the track?

That smoke was hanging in the air

But there was no engine anywhere

Now who stole that train off the track?

I said, who stole that train off the track?

Who stole that train that was bringing my girl back?

Someone's playing a joke on me

They better let my baby be

Well, who stole that train off the track?

I looked and saw a cloud of steam

And plainly heard a whistle scream

But who stole that train off the track?

Then I looked again with all my might

But still no engine came in sight

Now who stole that train off the track?

I said, who stole that train off the track?

Whoever took it better come and put it back

I heard that engine whistle blow

It should've been here long ago
