Hey, conductor
Moving down the line
You're playing with my life
You ain't no friend of mine
But I whistle in the night
Can't waste a minute of time
Going, going, gone
The judge said well boy
And hey, hey
Ain't my idea of joy
But I whistle in the night
Can't waste a minute of time
Turn over, turn over
Turn over, turn over
Turn over
Don't waste a minute of time
Say, hey, conductor
Moving down the line
You're playing with my life
You ain't no friend of mine
But I whistle in the night
Can't waste a minute of time
Hey hey
Train was going around
Old judge said no
Don't want to see you going down
But I whistle in the night
We must be homeward bound
Turn over, turn over
Turn over, turn over
Turn over
Can't waste a minute of time
