Train Kept a Rollin'
The Yardbirds feat. Joe Satriani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I met a dame
She was a hipster
Man a real gone dame
She wasn't pretty
For New York City
As we strut down on that ol' fairlane
With a heave and a ho
Get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
With a heave and a ho
I just couldn't let her go
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
With a heave and a ho
I just couldn't let her go
I made a stop round Albuquerque
She must'a thought I was real gone jerk
Got off the train at El Paso
A' looking so good I couldn't let her go
With a heave and a ho
I just couldn't let her go
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
With a heave and a ho
I just couldn't let her go
The Yardbirds's song "The Train Kept a-Rollin'" is a classic rock and roll song that describes a train journey and a chance encounter with a woman. The lyrics tell the story of the singer meeting a woman on board the train, who he describes as a "real gone dame" or a hipster. She may not be conventionally pretty for New York City, but she still captivates the singer. He takes her for a ride in his car, and he just can't let her go.
The rest of the song involves the singer and the woman traveling on the train through the night, with a chorus proclaiming that the "train kept a rollin' all night long." The singer describes making a stop in Albuquerque, where the woman seems to think he's a "real gone jerk," but he is undeterred. They eventually get off the train in El Paso, and the singer can't bear to part with this woman who has caught his eye.

Aboard a train
I met a woman while travelling on a train
I met a dame
I met a woman
She was a hipster
She was cool and fashionable
Man a real gone dame
She was a very cool woman
She wasn't pretty
She wasn't conventionally attractive
For New York City
By New York City standards
As we strut down on that ol' fairlane
As we walked down the aisle of the train car
With a heave and a ho
With a lot of effort
I just couldn't let her go
I couldn't bring myself to leave her behind
Get along
Move on
Sweet little woman get along
Move on, sweet woman
On your way
Keep moving forward
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train continued to move without stopping throughout the night
I made a stop round Albuquerque
I briefly stopped in Albuquerque
She must'a thought I was real gone jerk
She must have thought I was not a good person
Got off the train at El Paso
I left the train at El Paso
A' looking so good I couldn't let her go
She looked so good that I couldn't leave her behind
