written by Junior Parker (Herman "Little Junior" Parker), with a production credit later shared with Sun Records founder Sam Phillips.
In late 1953, the song was recorded by Parker's band in Clarksdale, Mississippi-bred style. Parker had grown up in Clarksdale, worked with Howlin' Wolf's band, then formed his own group, the Blues Flames, in 1952. "Mystery Train" was the follow-up to his Sun debut, "Feelin' Good." The lyrics draw heavily from the Carter Family's 1930 folk recording "Worried Man Blues," itself rooted in an old Celtic ballad — Parker adapted the iconic "sixteen coaches long" train imagery into his own blues lament. uDiscover MusicWikipedia
