abstract
  • %22Mystery Train%22 is a song recorded by American blues musician Junior Parker in 1953. Considered a blues standard, Parker, billed as %22Little Junior's Blue Flames%22, recorded the song for producer/Sun Records owner Sam Phillips and it was released on the Sun label. The song was written by Junior Parker (aka Herman Parker), with a credit later given to Phillips.One commentator noted %22One of the mysteries about 'Mystery Train' was where the title came from; it was mentioned nowhere in the song%22. The song uses lyrics similar to those found in the traditional American folk music group Carter Family's %22Worried Man Blues%22, itself based on an old Celtic ballad, and their biggest selling record of 1930:The train arrived sixteen coaches longThe train arrived sixteen coaches longThe girl I love is on that train and goneParker's lyrics include:Train I ride sixteen coaches longTrain I ride sixteen coaches longWell, that long black train carries my baby home%22Mystery Train%22 was the follow-up single to Junior Parker's 1953 number five Billboard R&B chart release %22Feelin' Good%22 (Sun 187). Accompanying Parker (vocal) is his backup band the %22Blue Flames%22, whose members at the time are believed to have included: Floyd Murphy (guitar), William Johnson (piano), Kenneth Banks (bass), John Bowers (drums), and Raymond Hill (tenor sax).
