The Xx - Train Kept A Rollin' lyrics
(T. Bradshaw / L. Mann / H. Kay)
 Studio version
 This version has a double-tracked vocal from Keith Relf (recorded two different dates). The lyrics are slightly altered. I have tried to capture the vocal mixed in the background in '()' brackets following the main lyric.
 I caught the train, I met a dame,
 She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,
 (She was handsome,)
 She was pretty, from New York City,
 Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane,
 (Goin' on,)
 With a heave, and a ho,
 (Wo,)
 Well, I just couldn't let her go.
 (Yes I did,)
 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
 Be on your way,
 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
 Be on your way,
 With a heave, and a ho,
 (Love the way you walk,)
 I just couldn't let her go.
 (Yes I do now.)
 Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 (Sweet little woman, get along,)
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 ([You're my queen?])
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 (Sweet little woman, get along,)
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 ([You're my queen?])
 With a heave, and a ho,
 (Love the way you walk,)
 Well I just couldn't let her go,
 (Yes I do.)
 We made a stop at Albuquerque,
 She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,
 We got out the train in El Paso,
 Lookin' so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go.
 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
 (Oh, right,)
 Well, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,The Xx - Train Kept A Rollin' - http://motolyrics.com/the-xx/train-kept-a-rollin-lyrics.html
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 With a heave, and a ho,
 Well I just couldn't let her go.

BBC version
 I caught the train, I met a dame,
 She was a hipster, well and a real cool dame,
 She was pretty, from New York City,
 Well and we trucked on down in that old Fairlane.
 With a heave, and a ho,
 And I just couldn't let her go,
 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
 Better be on your way,
 Get along, sweet little woman, get along,
 Better be on your way,
 With a heave, and a ho,
 I just couldn't let her go,
 No.
 Yeah, the train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 The train kept a-rollin', all night long,
 With a heave, and a ho,
 Just couldn't let her go,
 No.
 We made a stop at Albuquerque,
 She must have thought I was a real gone jerk,
 We got out the train in El Paso,
 Lookin' so good, that I couldn't let 'er go.
 With a heave, and a ho,
 I just couldn't let her go,
 Get along, sweet little woman get along,
 Better be on your way,
 Get along, sweet little woman get along,
 Be on your way,
 With a heave, and a ho,
 I just couldn't let her go,
 No.
