The first time I heard this is when the box set came out which I didn't hesitate to buy. It reminded me of some of the concerts from the early seventies. A few groups did long jams like this. Mountain was another group who did similar jams like this as well as Ten Years After.
People get ready there's a train a comin' You don't need a ticket Climb on board Train arrive Sixteen coaches long Train arrive Sixteen coaches long Well that mean old train Took my baby He's gone Train, train Coming 'round the bend Train, train Coming 'round the bend Yeah that mean old evil train Took my one and only friend Train, train Coming down the line Train, train Coming down the line Well that mean old rotten train Took the only friend of mine Train, train Coming down the track Train, train Coming down the track Yeah he took my baby And he never bring her back, alright Away, away, away Away in India Away, away, away Away in India Well I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind Well I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind Don't know what's going to be, everything will work out fine Well I woke up this morning got nothing on my mind Don't know what's going to be, everything will work out fine Well I woke up this morning got the H-bomb on my mind Well I woke up this morning got the H-bomb on my mind Everything, everything will work out fine, yeah Well I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind Well I woke up this morning got the crossroads on my mind Don't know what's going to be, everything, everything, everything, everything gonna work out fine Train, train Come and gone Took my baby Took my baby Took my love Away Well I woke up this morning, yeah Nothing on my mind
It sounds like a train. I did not know the Doors wrote one called "Black Train". By coincidence I titled a song "Old Black Train". I tend to lean on it during tough times. I'll get lost in the rhythm and forget all my troubles for the moment.
hola tengo 16 años y me encantan los Doors me de varias historias sobre esta cancion pero no se si son autenticas Hay alguien que me lo pudiera explicar se los agradecería mucho
+Zuriel Hernandez Black train song es un medley de cuatro canciones de blues sureno de los anos 30, el cual es considerado el blues mas puro, musicalmente hablando Un medley, es como decir un popurri, o una combinacion de varios pedazos de distintas canciones, que se juntan para forma una sola cancion, y que el interprete de esa nueva cancion, le da su propia interpretacion, al mismo tiempo que rinde tributo a las piezas originales. las cuatro canciones son mystery train, people get ready, crossroads, y away en india. Antes de Doors, el grupo Cream habia versionado crossroads de forma exitosa, y Elvis Presley tambien hizo una version de Mystery train en los anos 50, la cual se convirtio en uno de sus mas grandes exitos. Sin embargo, nadie nunca habia hecho un medley como lo hizo Doors. Se llama Black porque los artistas/compositores de las cuatro canciones son negros. Luego, es Train, porque Doors tomo casi toda la letra de mystery train y parte de la musica, por eso la cancion Black Train Song tiene la palabra Train. Y song, pues, porque es una cancion. Por eso se llama Black Train Song: el nombre rinde tributo a los artistas negros del blues sureno de los anos 30. de mas esta decir, que Doors con todo el respeto que merecen, compartio los creditos con los autores originales La parte del jamming (es decir, la parte donde tocan ray, robby y john), son pedazos de las otras canciones, pero con un toque de interpretacion de Doors. Finalmente, Jim cantando Oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, es una obvia referencia al chu chu chuuuuuu de un ferrocarril de vapor de los anos 30, es decir, la epoca de cuando son las canciones originales. Espero esta explicacion haya sido satisfactoria.
It's not a song per se, but rather a medley they liked to perform in concert - Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready", Junior Parker's "Mystery Train", "Away In India", and "Crossroad Blues" by Robert Johnson. This one I think is taken from the Live In Detroit album issued in 2000 by Rhino records, and there's also a version of the medley available on the 2005 Rhino release of Live In Philadelphia. Not sure if either of those albums are on iTunes, though.
Great! If you're a fan of psychedelic rock, you may enjoy my original music! Please visit my channel and let me know what you think. Thank you so much!
The most underrated song they have, they don't miss a beat masterclass
Jim Morrison paying tribute to Elvis Presley..... 2 Southern boys..... RIP Jim and Ray

Away away away in India ...Jim Morrison talks about his first love Mary who was in India learning and practising yoga
Do you mean rotten crotch Mary
This o.v. is hot again😊😊😊😊
Transends hypnotic shamanic
It sounds like a train. I did not know the Doors wrote one called "Black Train". By coincidence I titled a song "Old Black Train". I tend to lean on it during tough times. I'll get lost in the rhythm and forget all my troubles for the moment.

they didnt write it. its a Sam Phillips / Junior Parker song .... look up "Elvis Presley - Mystery Train"
I was high listening to the fucking "bass".... O M G

Dedicated to Mary Werbelow, Jim's truthful muse
it always brings me back to simpler time when life was good we had friends not phones and screens

Muchas gracias
En serio me ayudo mucho
+elsrdick Tremendo loco, gracias por la info, y encima en español !!
Aguanten The Doors y el blues
Rare song :)
Mystery Train
train arrive Sixteen coaches long....
What's the significance of sixteen coaches? I remember hearing something about that on an acid trip
Mystery train is the song
epic
You Don't Need a ticket climb on board
Trippy
Very similar lyrics to a song titled "mystery train" done by Elvis, Jerry Garcia Band, and written and performed by Junior Parker in 1953
It's a homage
Sii torna a Casa
"woke up in't mornin' got the A5 on my mind" ????
H Bomb on my mind
I can't find this song on iTunes? Is it a cover or what's the original song?

it might be under black train jam or mystery train jam
You can find this song on the album Without a Safety Net, not sure if its on iTunes.
