Actually a jazzy instrumental but it nicely captures the rhythm of the rails. Co-composed by Charles Mingus.
The lyrics of the sung version (supplemented by a lot of scat singing):-
You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-humming
All aboard, get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
