Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Riding on some northern railroad
Left some setting suns behind me
There'll be many more before I'm through
Rattler, take me home to my baby
One-way ticket bringing me back to you

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah...

Been away for such a long time
You've been on my mind the whole time
I've changed cities like an old coat
Train a-rolling, don't know where I am
Friends I'll never meet again
Memories drifting by like grains of sand

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah...

Rattler moving on down the line
Dreams to carry me through the night
Country lanes sweep by before me
Friendly stars to light my way to you
Rattler, take me home to my baby
One more town, journey's almost through

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
