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