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 now
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
The lyrics to Scotty's song "Draw Your Breaks" tell the story of a man whose girlfriend is leaving him for another man. The first verse establishes a sense of urgency as the singer implores someone to "stop that train" because he wants to catch up to his departing love. The second verse reveals the reason why she is leaving him - she has caught the train to be with another man. The singer is distraught and cannot believe that she would lie to him about leaving. The bridge of the song features an interplay between the lead singer and the backup vocalists who are urging the guitarist to play on despite the tragic nature of the lyrics. Finally, the last verse finds the singer expressing his sadness and frustration that he will not be able to talk to his love again because she has gone too far away.

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
@ruthdixon7807
scotty delivers the smoooothest of lyrical laments over the original stop that train.
@dalehoytdilworth8413
The barbecue restaurant below me keeps playing this song. He must know how much I love this song; good taste for sure extends beyond his food.
@Zlervo
😅😅😅
@NeverKnowinglyUndersouled
A rare example of a song that's even better than the original 😍
@sonyamcneal9046
Bob Sanders is so correct. I was surprised that hardly anything is said about him. RIP Scotty
@SundaeExpress
I reckon this is better than the original.

I was nine years old. My father brought home this album and The Superfly album. Five years later I'd own my first guitar. Who knew?
I'd jam the first cut ( You Can Get It If You Really Want),but I didn't want to get up and change the needle to the other track. So, this track would flow on. It became my favorite little diddy off this album.
