Waitin' for my man to come home
 I've counted every minute of each live-long day
 Been so melancholy since he went away
 I've shed a million teardrops or more
 Waitin' for the one I adore
 I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
 Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back
 I'm waitin' for my life to begin
 Waitin' for the train to come in

 I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track
 Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back
 I'm waitin' for my life to begin
 Waitin' for the train to come in

 Waiting... waiting... I'm waitin' for the train to come in
