Just a loud mouth yankee i went down to mexico.

I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so.

There i lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.

But i found myself a-thinkin' when the time had come to go...



Chorus:

What am i doin' hangin' round?

I should be on that train and gone.

I should be ridin' on that train to san antone,

What am i doin' hangin' round?



She took me to the garden just for a little walk.

I didn't know much spanish and there was no time for talk.

Then she told me that she loved me not with words but with a kiss.

And like a fool i kept on thinkin' of a train i could not miss...



Chorus



Well it's been a year or so, and i want to go back again.

And if i get the money, well i'll ride the same old train.

But i guess your chances come but once and boy i sure missed mine.

And still i can't stop thinkin' when i hear some whistle cryin'....



Chorus (repeat)
