Lyrics
Here I'm goin'
Walkin' with my baby in my arms
'Cause I'm
In the wrong end of the eight-ball black
And the devil
See, he's right behind us
And this worker said she's gonna take
My lil' baby
My angel back
But they won't getcha, no
'Cause I'm right here wit' ya on the
Night train
Swing low, Saint Cadillac
They're tearin' down the alley
And I'm reachin' so high for ya
Don't let 'em take me back
Broken like valiums and chumps in the rain
That cry and quiver
When a blue horizon
Sleeping in the station
Oh, with a ticket for a train and surely
Miine will deliver me there
Here she comes
Now I'm safe here with you, on the
Night train
Oh mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Concrete is wheeling by
Down at the end of a lullaby, on the
Night train
Ooh, baby
