Woo, he's watchin' the choo choo,

Woo, he watchin' the train!



Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by

Wish I had the ticket that I can't afford

Hear that old conductor holler "All Aboard!"

Wonder how this world looks, outside of picture books



Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' desert skies

Passin' before my eyes

When the whistle blows toot toot toot,

the engine goes chug chug

And I hear that bell go clang clang clang,

and my heart gives a tug tug tug



Watchin' the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy

Wishin' I could hurry up an' start to pack

Grab my gal and hop the train an' not come back

Instead of that I'm sitting by the railroad track,

Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by!



There's a choo choo comin' down the track,

I can almost see it's smoky stack

But it ain't no use, alas I lack

Guess I'll always be here, watchin' the trains go by!

Oh! how I'd love to stop it! ( Watchin' the trains go by! )

How I'd love to hop it!

Wish I had a ticket that I can't afford ( Ho Ho Ho! )

Hear that old conductor holler "Yes, All Aboard!"

( I often wonder how this world looks . . . ) Like to see some traffic!

( outside of picture books . . . ) Outside the National Geographic!

Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' desert skies ( Ho Ho Ho! )

Passin' before my eyes

When the whistle blows toot toot toot,

the engine goes chug chug chug chug

And I hear that bell go clang clang clang,

and my heart gives a tug tug tug



I'm watchin' the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy

Wishin' I could hurry up an' start to pack
