Elvis Presley’s version of «Mystery Train» was first released on August 20, 1955, as the B-side of «I Forgot to Remember to Forget». In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 77 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Sam Phillips at Sun Studios again produced the recording, and featured Presley on vocals and rhythm guitar, Scotty Moore on lead guitar, and Bill Black on bass. Moore used a country lead break and fingerstyle picking, with a touch of slapback echo.

Paired with «I Forgot to Remember to Forget», the single reached the Top 10 in Billboard’s C&W listings.

Elvis Presley – Mystery Train lyrics

[Verse 1]
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well, that long black train got my baby and gone
[Verse 2]
Train train, coming ‘round, ‘round the bend
Train train, coming ‘round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
No, not again
[Verse 3]
Train train, coming down, down the line
Train train, coming down the line
Well, it’s bringing my baby, ‘cause she’s mine all, all mine
She’s mine, all, all mine
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Train train, coming ‘round, ‘round the bend
‘Round, ‘round the bend
Train train, coming ‘round, ‘round the bend
‘Round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
Never will again
Ooh, whoa
