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