Stop that train I'm leavin' today
Stop that train I'm leavin' anyway
Stop that train I'm leavin' And I said
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
All my good life I've been a lonely man,
Teachin' my people who don't understand;
And even though I tried my best,
I still can't find no happiness
So I got to say
Stop that train I'm leavin' oh, baby now
Stop that train I'm leavin' don't care what you say
Stop that train I'm leavin' And I said
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;
Said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Some goin' east; and-a some goin' west,
Some stand aside to try their best
Some livin' big, but the most is livin' small
They just can't even find no food at all
I mean, stop it
Stop that train I'm leavin' leavin', mm-hmm
Stop that train I'm leavin' I don't mind
Stop that train I'm leavin' And I said
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Stop that train I'm leavin' leavin'
Stop that train I'm leavin' can't take it
Stop that train I'm leavin' got to be better
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
