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