Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' - Stray Cats

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')

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
