I saw her there from across the street, she was dressed in black
And when she moved she moved to a beat, like a Cadillac
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

She was a woman of suspicious ways, never saw daylight
And in her room she sat and passed the days
And she'd creep out at night
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Chorus: Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night

Looked through a window saw a velvet sky, a shade of green
A violin was playing soft and sweet, like it was a dream
She rode a train, train train train, a train of gold

Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night

Train of gold, train of gold
I don't believe her, it just couldn't be her
I can't get it out of my mind
