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