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