Well, I'm walkin' down the road with my hat on my head   Had to leave my mama in my big brass bed   Sun is shinin' on me and you know it sure feels fine      Lord, I made it to the station with my suitcase in my hand   Walked up to the window like a natural born man   Said, I sure do hope that choo-choo train runs on time   (Choo-choo, choo-choo)   Lord, I sure do hope that choo-choo train runs on time      Well, these two dollar shoes, Lord, they hurt my feet   But that fifty-cent liquor, well, it could not be beat   And I see no reason, reason to be sad, no      'Cause I'm goin' where them cold, cold winds don't blow   Where the streams and rivers, Lord, they all run slow   Ain't no use in cryin', cryin' over what you had, Lord, ain't   Lord, ain't no use in cryin', cryin' over what you had      Well, I'm walkin' down the road with my hat on my head   Had to leave my mama in my big brass bed   Sun is shinin' on me and you know it sure feels fine      Lord, I made it to the station with my suitcase in my hand   Walked up to the window like a natural born man   Said, I sure do hope that choo-choo train runs on time   (Choo-choo, choo-choo)      Lord, I sure do hope that choo-choo train runs on time
