Lyrics Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' - Stray Cats

Mystery Train Kept A Rollin'

Well the train rolled into station about 1955
I’ve never been to Memphis
But ohhhhh man alive
The town was really buzzin'
About this cat from Tennessee
The boy who shook his hips
Was such a shocking sight to see
He was a devil don’t you know
This greasy cat from Tupelo
Sit right back you rockin cats
And just enjoy the show
Aaaye,
I heard the whistle blowin
But it was so much more than that
There was a guitar and a singer
And this big bass they would slap
I saw Montana passin
And I waved g-bye (ohh-hoo)
Cause that mystery train done hooked me
Like old bourbon whiskey and rye
Yeaaaa
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (Rollin', Rollin')
Elvis Presley led the way
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (All night long)
Johnny Cash was shovelin' coal
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (Rollin', Rollin')
Jerry Lee he was the brake man
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (All night long)
Mr. Phillips ran the show
Todd Perkins punched my ticket
Well this train don’t never stop
Just hang around and listen boy
We’ll show you how to rock
Eeeee ooooo, ooooo oooa
I went to Mr. Perkins
This train sure rollin' fast
Well kid if can’t hold on
You ain’t never goin last
I told the man in black
To shovel on a little more coal (more coal)
I went and grabbed my guitar
Yelled, teach me how to rock-n-roll!
YEAAAA
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (Rollin', Rollin')
Elvis Presley led the way
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (All night long)
Johnny Cash was shovelin' coal
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (Rollin', Rollin')
Jerry Lee he was the brake man
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (All night long)
Mr. Phillips ran the show
Todd Perkins punched my ticket
Well this train don’t never stop
You just hang around and listen boy
We’ll show you how to rock
All right take it down a notch
Take it down one more notch
Cause I knew I was on a ride
That would take me to the top
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin'
And it ain’t never goin to stop
Train had hit a tunnel
Everthing got dark as night
Elvis whispered in my ear
It’s getting rough so hold on tight
This steamin locomotive
Man we almost jumped the track
Roy Orbison stood up and sang
We ain’t never turning back!
I said hey Roy hey Johnny hey Jerry Lee
Well now I really seee
Well Thank you for the ticket
I don’t want the fame
I just ride on this big — old — mystery — train
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (Rollin', Rollin')
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' (All night long)
Get on board
Chuugg a chhuggga cchhhhhh chhhhh
Get on board

Mystery train kept a rollin'
