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