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)
|
