Lyrics:
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Take the A-train
To find the quickest way to get to Harlem
If you should take the A-train
You'll find you get right where
I hate to hear that freight train blow, boo-hoo
I hate to hear that freight train blow, boo-hoo
Every time I hear it blowin', I feel like ridin'
Red train combs the steel-hair track (in the summer) Rust jumps car and sleeps in back (summertime train's blind). "Careful airplanes think I'm old
Every time you come around
I hear that lonesome sound
Ooh, train of memories
Boxcars go flyin' by
With all my dreams inside
Ooh, train of memories
Ev'ry time you come around
I hear that lonesome sound
Ooh, train of memories
Boxcars go flyin' by
With all my dreams inside
Ooh, train
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This train don't carry no gamblers, this train
This
Like a jazz refrain the midnight train is callin'
Hey, you'd best go soon the late night moon is fallin'
Let the nightbirds whisper to themselves
Train of love's a comin', big black wheels are hummin'
People waitin' at the station, happy hearts are drummin'
Train men tell me maybe, ain't she
You must take the 'A' train
To go Sugar Hill 'way up in Harlem
If you miss the 'A' train
You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry,
You must take the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the "A" train
You`ll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
But this life that I chose to live, sometime's strange
See I'm trying to learn about the old music from ridin' the train
I'm a hobo I know, but
Everytime I hear that whistle whine
From a lonesome locomotive comin' down the line
It carries my mind away to another place in time
When train
Golden Acapulco nights
Then Morocco, and the East
Fly by morning light
We're on the train to Bangkok
Aboard the Thailand Express
We'll hit
Trains and bloats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For someone else but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
There's anger in the silence
There's wheels upon the jail
A black train built of bones
On a copper rail
Company conductor
You need the salt of tears
It's a gone dead train
Yes, it's a gone dead train
My engine was pumpin' steam
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
Burnin' down the rails,
Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow
Oh no no
Trains and bloats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
For someone else but not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
counted the cost it'll take to bring down
All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon?
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend
Woo, he's watchin' the choo choo,
Woo, he watchin' the train!
Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by
Wish I had the ticket that I
You must take the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the "A" train
You`ll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
to stay
Last train to London, just heading out
Last train to London, just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be
Train of love's a coming big black wheels a humming
People waiting at the station happy hearts a drumming
Trainman tell me maybe ain't you got my
Push it along, push it along baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
Push it along, push it along baby gonna ride the train, ride it baby
The desert
