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