"Train Kept A-Rollin'" (or "The Train Kept A-Rollin'") is a song first recorded by American jazz and rhythm and blues musician Tiny Bradshaw in 1951. Originally performed in the style of a jump blues, Bradshaw borrowed lyrics from an earlier song and set them to an upbeat shuffle arrangement that inspired other musicians to perform and record it. Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio made an important contribution in 1956 – they reworked it as a guitar riff-driven song, which features an early use of intentionally distorted guitar in rock music.


In 1965, the Yardbirds popularized the song as an early psychedelic blues rock song, due largely to Jeff Beck's fuzz-toned guitar work.





Lyrics



Well, on a train, I met a dame

She rather handsome, we kind looked the same

She was pretty, from New York City

I'm walking down that old fair lane

I'm in heat, I'm in love

But I just couldn't tell her so


I said, train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

With a heave, and a ho


But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, I'm in heat, I'm in love

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no


Well, on a train, I met a dame

She rather handsome, we kind looked the same

She was pretty, from New York City

I'm walking down that old fair lane

I'm in heat, I'm in love

But I just couldn't tell her so


I said, train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

With a heave, and a ho


But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along

On your way, I'm in heat, I'm in love

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no


Well, we made a stop in Albuquerque

She must have thought I was a real cool jerk

Got off the train, and put her hands up

Looking so good I couldn't let her go

But I just couldn't tell her so


I said, train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

Train kept a-rolling all night long

With a heave, and a ho

But I just couldn't tell her so
