Origineel
Here I’m going
Walkin’ with my baby in my arms
‘Cuz I am in the wrong end of the eight ball black
And the devil, see, he’s right behind us
And this worker said she’s gonna take my little baby
My little angel back
But they won’t getcha
‘Cuz I’m right here witcha
On the night train
Swing low, Saint Cadillac
Tearin’ down the alley
And I’m reachin’ so high for ya
Don’t let ‘em take me back
Broken like valiums and chumps in the rain
That cry and quiver
When a blue horizon is sleeping in the station
With a ticket for a train
Surely mine will deliver me there
Here she comes …
I’m safe here with you
On the night train
Oh mamma, mamma
Concrete is wheeling by
Down at the end of a lullaby
On the night train
Vertaling
Here I’m going
Walkin’ with my baby in my arms
‘Cuz I am in the wrong end of the eight ball black
And the devil, see, he’s right behind us
En deze werkster zegt dat ze mijn kleine baby mee zal nemen
Mijn kleine engel terug
But they won’t getcha
‘Want ik ben hier samen met jou
Op de nachttrein
Swing low, Saint Cadillac
Tearin’ down the alley
And I’m reachin’ so high for ya
Don’t let ‘em take me back
Broken like valiums and chumps in the rain
That cry and quiver
When a blue horizon is sleeping in the station
With a ticket for a train
Zeker zal de mijne me daar afleveren
Hier komt ze…
Ik ben veilig hier bij jou
Op de nachttrein
Oh mamma, mamma
Beton dendert voorbij
Beneden aan het eind van een slaapliedje
Op de nachttrein
