Woo, he's watchin' the choo, Woo, he the train!
Watchin' the go by, watchin' the trains go by Wish I had the ticket that I can't Hear that old conductor "All Aboard!" Wonder how world looks, outside of picture books
Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' skies Passin' my eyes When the whistle blows toot toot, the engine goes chug And I that bell go clang clang clang, and my heart 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 trains go by, watchin' the 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 always be here, watchin' 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 that I can't ( Ho Ho Ho! ) Hear old conductor holler "Yes, All Aboard!" ( I often wonder how this world looks . . . ) Like to see traffic! ( outside of picture books . . . ) the National Geographic! mountains, rollin' 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 bell go clang clang, and my heart a tug tug tug
I'm watchin' the trains go by, I'm just a small guy Wishin' I could up an' start to pack Grab my gal and hop the an' not come back Instead of that I'm sitting by the track, Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the go by! Woo, I'm watchin' the trains go by . . . Watchin' the go by . . . Woo, I'm watchin' the go . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . .
