Woo, he's the choo choo, Woo, he the train!
the trains 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 looks, outside of picture books
Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' desert Passin' my eyes the whistle blows toot toot toot, the engine chug chug And I hear that go clang clang clang, and my heart a tug tug tug
the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy Wishin' I hurry up an' start to pack Grab my gal and hop the train an' not come Instead of that I'm sitting by the track, the trains go by, watchin' the trains 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 always be here, watchin' the go by! Oh! how I'd love to stop it! ( the trains go by! ) How I'd to hop it! Wish I had a that I can't afford ( Ho Ho Ho! ) that old conductor holler "Yes, All Aboard!" ( I often wonder how world looks . . . ) Like to see some traffic! ( outside of picture books . . . ) the National Geographic! mountains, rollin' plains 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 the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy Wishin' I hurry up an' start to pack Grab my gal and hop the train an' not back Instead of I'm sitting by the railroad track, Watchin' the trains go by, the trains go by! Woo, I'm watchin' the trains go by . . . Watchin' the go by . . . Woo, I'm the trains go . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . .
