Who Stole That Train
Mystery Rails: Quest for Lost Love
Lyrics
Who stole that train off the track?
Questioning who removed the train from its intended path.
Whoever took it better come and put it back
Requesting the person responsible to return the train.
I heard that engine whistle blow
Hearing the sound of the engine's whistle.
It should have been here long ago (now)
Expressing frustration that the train hasn't arrived yet.
Who stole that train off the track?
Repeating the inquiry about the missing train.
My baby wrote and said that she
Referencing a message from the singer's significant other about her return.
Was coming home on "ninety three" but
Indicating the expected train number.
Who stole that train off the track?
Reiterating the question about the vanished train.
I been waitin' here since early dawn
Waiting at the station since early morning.
The depot's closed, the agents gone
Noticing the closure of the station and the absence of the agent.
Who stole that train off the track?
Repeating the inquiry about the missing train.
(I said a) who stole that train off the track?
Reiterating the question about the vanished train.
Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back?
Expressing concern about the train that was supposed to bring back the singer's girl.
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
Hearing a melancholic whistle, emphasizing the delayed arrival.
It should have been here long ago
Reiterating frustration over the delayed arrival of the train.
Who stole that train off the track?
Repeating the inquiry about the missing train.
Well I looked above me in the sky
Observing the sky for signs of the train.
And saw the smoke a risin' high but
Noticing smoke rising but still questioning the missing train.
Who stole that train off the track?
Repeating the inquiry about the missing train.
That smoke was hangin' in the air
Describing the presence of smoke without the expected engine.
But there was no engine anywhere
Noticing the absence of the engine despite the visible smoke.
(now) who stole that train off the track?
Reiterating the question about the vanished train.
(I said a) who stole that train off the track?
-Who stole that train that was bringin' my girl back
Expressing concern about the missing train that was supposed to bring back the singer's girl.
Someone's playin' a joke on me
Suspecting someone of playing a prank or causing the disappearance.
They'd better bring my baby
Insisting on the return of the singer's loved one.
Who stole that train off the track?
Reiterating the question about the vanished train.
Well I looked and saw a cloud of steam
Seeing steam and hearing the whistle but no visible train.
And plainly heard a whistle scream but
Repeating the inquiry about the missing train.
Who stole that train off the track?
Reiterating the absence of the engine despite hearing the whistle.
And I looked again with all my might
Searching intensely but still not finding the train.
But still no engine came in sight (now)
Emphasizing the absence of the expected engine.
Who stole that train off the track?
Repeating the inquiry about the missing train.
(I said a) who stole that train off the track?
Reiterating the need for the train to be returned.
Whoever took it better come and put it back
Requesting the responsible party to put the train back.
I heard that engine whistle blow
Hearing the sound of the engine's whistle again.
It should have been here long ago (now)
Expressing frustration at the continued absence of the train.
Who stole that train off the track?
Repeating the inquiry about the missing train.
