I know you heard of the Chattanooga Choo Choo |
|
The Rock Island, the New York Central, the New Haven and Hartford, |
|
The Pennsylvania, the Missoura Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the |
|
Northern Pacific is terrific |
|
Oh, but Jack, you heard of the IC and the Santa Fee, |
|
but you gotta take a ride on the TP |
|
I'm bidin' time aboard the Texas and Pacific |
|
Past big 'D' - didn't stay |
|
About a half and hour to be specific |
|
Cowtown's just a short way |
|
Headin' southwest on the Texas and Pacific |
|
Big wheels clackin' around |
|
All the sights that I take in are quite terrific |
|
I'm west Texas bound |
|
Say, mister porter - I wired my gal |
|
She's waitin' in El Paso for me |
|
Say mister porter, Wes Pecos no less |
|
My Stetson needs a dustin' and my pants need a press |
|
I guess I'll have to find a half to tip the porter |
|
"15 minutes", he says |
|
When I arrive we'll take a trip across the border |
|
Honeymoon in Juarez |
|
Cause the TP Special gets me there in much less |
