(Traditional) 



Good morning, Mr. Railroad Man 

What time do your trains roll by ? 

"At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'till 5" 

"At 9:16 and 2:44 and 25 minutes 'till 5" 

Thank you, Mr. Railroad Man 

I want to watch your trains go by 



Standing on a platform, smoking a cheap cigar 

And waiting for an old freight train that carries an empty car 

Well, I pulled my hat down over my eyes 

And I walked across the tracks 

And I caught me the end of an old freight train 

And I never did come back 



Well, I sat down in a gamblin' game 

But I could not play my hand 

I was thinkin' about the woman I loved 

Run away with another man, poor boy 

Run away with another man 

I was thinking about the woman that I loved 

Run away with another man
