Stop That Train

(album: Catch A Fire - 1973)

Stop that train: I'm leaving today!
Stop that train: I'm leaving anyway!
Stop that train: I'm leaving. 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,
Teaching 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 leaving oh, baby now!
Stop that train: I'm leaving don't care what you say!
Stop that train: I'm leaving. 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 going east; and-a some going west,
Some stand aside to try their best.
Some living big, but the most is living small::
They just can't even find no food at all.

I mean, stop it:
Stop that train: I'm leaving leaving, mm-hmm.
Stop that train: I'm leaving I don't mind!
Stop that train: I'm leaving. 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 leaving leavin'!
Stop that train: I'm leaving can't take it!
Stop that train: I'm leaving 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. [fadeout]
