Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I’m walking down that old fair lane
I’m in heat, I’m in love
But I just couldn’t tell her so
I said, train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
With a heave, and a ho
But I just couldn’t tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, I’m in heat, I’m in love
But I just couldn’t tell her so, no, no, no
Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I’m walking down that old fair lane
I’m in heat, I’m in love
But I just couldn’t tell her so
I said, train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
With a heave, and a ho
But I just couldn’t tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, I’m in heat, I’m in love
But I just couldn’t tell her so, no, no, no
Well, we made a stop in Albuquerque
She must have thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Looking so good I couldn’t let her go
But I just couldn’t tell her so
I said, train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
With a heave, and a ho
But I just couldn’t tell her so
