Bought a ticket in a transit station
|
Headed southbound for home
|
To take a look at my dear Mom and Papa
|
Show them their simple son
|
Take a listen...
|
Didn't know what I was headed back home for
|
All I knew it was time
|
When the train it pulled into the station
|
Far from a maddening crowd
|
Station master took out his gold locket
|
Just to check his time
|
People pushing to pick up their baggage
|
To take another line
|
Just take a train now
|
Be on time if you want to stay
|
You've got to take a train now, Mama
|
You know it's the only way
|
So now, if you get to wanna see your home, now
|
Just you get down on your knees
|
Listen to the birds that do surround you
|
Singing their sweet harmony
|
Buy your ticket from a Station Master
|
One-way ticket for home
|
Get along and kiss your troubles good-bye, now
|
It's time to get on board
|
Just take a train now
|
Be on time if you want to stay
|
You've got to take a train now, Mama
|
You know it's the only way
|
