Same train carry my mother,
Same train, same train,
Same train be back to-morrer,
Same train, same train.
Same train carry my sister,
Same train, same train,
Same train be back to-morrer,
Same train, same train.

Same train a-blowin’ at de station,
Same train, same train,
Same train be back to-morrer,
Same train, same train.

- Old Folk Poem (19th Century)
