THE TRAIN SONG

Well, I'm a-standing on the train track
Watching for the big machine
I been a waitin' for my snack
He's arrivin' on the 5:15

I'm gonna stand and listen with my ear to the sky
I'm gonna halt that train if it tries to get by

CHO: Woo-hoo
That's the sound of the train comin' down the track
Woo-hoo
It's comin' round
It's the honey whistle bringin' my baby back

He's the snappy lookin' chappie with the crooked little grin that I dig
Plays guitar, travels far, but he tells me I'm his fav'rite gig
It's a catchy little tune when we meet, you bet
And when the train comes through
We'll make a sweet duet

CHO

Engine steamin' over the hill
I wait dreamin', don't notice the chill
Train man's beamin', he knows it's a thrill
To hear that whistle blowin' like a whipporwill

Well, I'm a-standing on the train track
Watching for the big machine
I been a waitin' for my snack
He's arrivin' on the 5:15

I'm gonna stand and listen with my ear to the sky
I'm gonna halt that train if it tries to get by
