When I was a young boy evening sun went down |
|
Stand off by the railroad tracks |
|
And I'd listen for the sound |
|
Of that Kansas |
|
City Southern man |
|
That'a a lonesome sound |
|
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by |
|
And wish that |
|
I was outward bound |
|
Well I'd dream about big cities |
|
And the pleaseues |
|
I would keep |
|
Long about twelve-thirty thru phase of my sleep |
|
I'd hear that |
|
Kansas City |
|
Southern man |
|
That'a a lonesome sound |
|
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by |
|
And wish that |
|
I was outward bound |
|
Well now I've been in a couple of places |
|
Seen a couple of things |
|
Whenever I think back in time |
|
My memory rings |
|
With that |
|
Kansas City |
|
Southern man |
|
That'a a lonesome sound |
|
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by |
|
And wish that |
|
I was homeward bound |
|
Don't you know how the whistles blows |
