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