Woo, he's the choo choo, Woo, he the train!
Watchin' the trains go by, the trains go by Wish I had the ticket that I can't Hear old conductor holler "All Aboard!" Wonder how this world looks, of picture books
Rocky mountains, rollin' an' desert skies before my eyes When the whistle toot toot toot, the engine goes chug And I hear that go clang clang clang, and my gives a tug tug tug
the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy Wishin' I hurry up an' start to pack Grab my gal and hop the an' not come back of that I'm sitting by the railroad track, Watchin' the go by, watchin' the trains go by!
There's a choo comin' down the track, I can almost see smoky stack But it ain't no use, alas I Guess I'll always be here, watchin' the go by! Oh! how I'd love to stop it! ( the trains go by! ) How I'd to hop it! Wish I had a ticket that I afford ( Ho Ho Ho! ) Hear that old conductor "Yes, All Aboard!" ( I wonder how this world looks . . . ) Like to see some traffic! ( outside of books . . . ) Outside the National Geographic! Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' desert ( Ho Ho Ho! ) Passin' my eyes When the blows toot toot toot, the engine goes chug chug chug And I hear that go clang clang clang, and my heart a tug tug tug
I'm the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy Wishin' I could hurry up an' start to my gal and hop the train an' not come back Instead of that I'm by the railroad track, the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by! Woo, I'm watchin' the trains go by . . . the trains go by . . . Woo, I'm watchin' the go . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . .
