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
