Sarah Jane and the Iron Mountain Baby

Thrown off the bridge

To the river by the ridge

Was the iron mountain baby

A man walking by

Said he heard a little cry

And he found him in a suitcase

Fifty feet down from the train to the ground

It's a miracle that he survived

What are the chances that a man would be standin' there

And take him home to his wife

Sarah Jane

Sarah Jane

Be a mama to the boy from the train

Five days old with a hand that could hold in a grip around your finger

Old Sarah Jane no she never did complain 'cause she loved the little

Stranger

She brought him back to health

And she kept him for herself

When some women tried to claim him

"If you'd been a good mama then you never would've wanna

Gone and thrown him off of the train then"

Sarah Jane

Sarah Jane

Be a mama to the boy from the train

Woo oo baby!

Woo oo you're my baby now!

A picture in the paper

Showed the baby like an angel

With the savior and the suitcase

What kind of devil

Could have thrown the little fellow

Off the train in the first place

His mama musta died givin' birth to the child and the daddy went crazy

Got on the train with a heart full of pain and took it out on the baby

Sarah Jane

Sarah Jane

Be a mama to the boy from the train

Woo oo baby!

Woo oo you're my baby now!

A civil war vet went to see if he could get a bit of timber for a new barn

The number 4 sped from the train overhead came the itty bitty newborn

Woo oo baby!

Woo oo you're my baby now!
