I lost a pretty penny on my daddy's farm
To the railroad tracks that ran between
The back porch and the barn
Every time that locomotive would start
To shake the ground
I'd beat it to the backyard and
I'd lay my Lincoln down
I'd signal to the engineer
He'd always let her blow
I'd count the cars, one by one
Wishin' I could go
Train train choo-choo train
Heard that oooh oooh oooooohhhhhh
And I've never been the same
Train train choo-choo train
There's still a little rambling round
Running through my veins
From the Blue Ridge Smoky Mountains
On L&N's old rails
To the Kansas City Southern
Sleepin' with the mail
I cut steel through Pennsylvania
On the P&LE too saw the Colorado River from
A Rio Grande caboose
Now every time that iron horse
Is comin' 'round the bend
I hear that lonesome sound oh Lord
And there I go again
