Woo, he's watchin' the choo, Woo, he the train!
Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the 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, rollin' plains an' desert Passin' before my When the whistle blows toot toot, the engine goes chug And I hear bell go clang clang clang, and my heart a tug tug tug
Watchin' the trains go by, I'm just a town guy Wishin' I could up an' start to pack my gal and hop the train an' not come back Instead of 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 it's 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 I can't afford ( Ho Ho Ho! ) Hear that old holler "Yes, All Aboard!" ( I often how this world looks . . . ) Like to see some traffic! ( outside of picture books . . . ) Outside the Geographic! Rocky mountains, plains an' desert skies ( Ho Ho Ho! ) Passin' my eyes When the whistle blows 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 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 train an' not come Instead of I'm sitting by the railroad track, Watchin' the go by, watchin' the trains go by! Woo, I'm the trains go by . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . . Woo, I'm watchin' the go . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . .
