Little Walter takes "This Train" and changes it from a religious song (this
train is bound for glory, this train, this train don't carry no gamblers, this
train) to "My Babe."

I think Willie Dixon was the thief that time. LW received stolen goods though, bang to rights.


Anyone ever notice Sister Rosetta Tharpe's totally original additional verse to that song: 'this train don't carry no wa***ers'? Tell it like it is, sister.
