[Verse 1]
Three weeks ago my baby said he'll be right back
I haven't heard from him since, don't know where he is at
I asked around, but no one seems to have a clue
Why he had to go, where did he take off to?
Oh, it's a real thing
I'm merely going insane
[Verse 2]
His best friend tells me it was time for me to know
'Bout the secret mission, sent him down to Mexico
Sometime ago, he took a train to come back home
[?] seen him there, but he was not alone
[Chorus]
On the night train
My baby's on the night train
Night train
My baby's on the night train
[Verse 3]
The pretty woman he was with knew from the start
She would have to shoot a bullet through my baby's heart
She took the suitcase, it was full of purest coke
Then she disappeared and left my baby cold
[Chorus]
On the night train
It happened on the night train
[Outro]
(Night train)
(Night train)
(Night train)
