Menacle and den gosaca.
Stop that train I want to get on
My baby she's leaving me now.
Did you hear that
Express yourself brother
Stop that train I want to get on
My baby she's leaving me nowAnd she really first got the train towards another guy
And I really can't believe she's gone and was telling a lie
Good God
And I tell you that the girl has really left I to cry
When she went bye bye
Good gracious
Stop that train I want to get on
Draw your brakes brother I just can't take it
'Cause the girl has really gone
Stop that train I want to get on
And the girl is gone for true
Goodness gracious
Skylarker
Play your guitar brother
'Cause this is indeed a sad song
She said she was going on the morning train
And all now I don't see she personal to talk to her again
That means she have a guy forward away with her
And I just can't take it no more
Stop that train.
See I express I-self.
Draw your brakes brother
'Cause you really taking my girl away from me
Stop that train, I want to get on
I can't even hold on to the back of the train

It doesn't get any skunkier than this, a classic. I grew up listening to the The Harder They Come soundtrack, with my father saying it was the best reggae album ever made, and he might've been right too.
@TooSkinnyKenny
i love it too but wonder why it has the same song on it twice. And do the producers know Vanilla Ice stole this song and called it "Stop That Train" and put it on HIS album without crediting the original writer?
@derekperez1418
Most definitely the best reggae compilation. It has everything, even Jimmy Cliffs Many Rivers To Cross
