Bought a ticket in a transit station |
|
Headed southbound for home |
|
To take a look at my dear |
|
Mom and Papa |
|
Show them their simple son |
|
Take a listen... |
|
Didn't know what |
|
I was headed back home for |
|
All I knew it was time |
|
When the train it pulled into the station |
|
Far from a maddening crowd |
|
Station master took out his gold locket |
|
Just to check his time |
|
People pushing to pick up their baggage |
|
To take another line |
|
Just take a train now |
|
Be on time if you want to stay |
|
You've got to take a train now, |
|
Mama You know it's the only way |
|
So now, if you get to wanna see your home, now |
|
Just you get down on your knees |
|
Listen to the birds that do surround you |
|
Singing their sweet harmony |
|
Buy your ticket from a |
|
Station Master |
|
One-way ticket for home |
|
Get along and kiss your troubles good-bye, now |
|
It's time to get on board |
|
Just take a train now |
|
Be on time if you want to stay |
|
You've got to take a train now, |
|
Mama You know it's the only way |
