Stop that train, I'm leavin' today!
Stop that train, I'm leavin' anyway!
Stop that train, I'm leavin'. And I said:
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;
I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.

All my good life I've been a lonely man,
Teachin' my people who don't understand;
And even though I tried my best,
I still can't find no happiness.

So I got to say,
Stop that train, I'm leavin' oh, baby now!
Stop that train, I'm leavin' don't care what you say!
Stop that train, I'm leavin'. And I said,
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong,
Said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.

Some goin' east; and-a some goin' west,
Some stand aside to try their best.
Some livin' big, but the most is livin' small,
They just can't even find no food at all.

I mean, stop it,
Stop that train, I'm leavin' leavin', mm-hmm.
Stop that train, I'm leavin' I don't mind!
Stop that train, I'm leavin'. And I said,
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong,
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.

Stop that train, I'm leavin' leavin'!
Stop that train, I'm leavin' can't take it!
Stop that train, I'm leavin' got to be better!
It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong,
I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.
