Woo, he's the choo choo, Woo, he the train!
Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the go by Wish I had the ticket that I afford Hear that old holler "All Aboard!" how this world looks, outside of picture books
Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' desert Passin' my eyes When the blows toot toot toot, the engine goes chug And I hear that 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, the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by!
There's a choo comin' down the track, I can almost see it's smoky But it ain't no use, alas I Guess I'll always be here, the trains go by! Oh! how I'd love to stop it! ( the trains go by! ) How I'd to hop it! Wish I had a ticket that I afford ( Ho Ho Ho! ) Hear that old conductor "Yes, All Aboard!" ( I often how this 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 whistle blows toot toot, the engine chug chug chug chug And I hear that go clang 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 I'm sitting by the railroad track, Watchin' the go by, watchin' the trains go by! Woo, I'm watchin' the go by . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . . Woo, I'm the trains go . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . .
