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