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