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