| Two trains, two railroad tracks
|
| One goin' 'n' the other one comin' back
|
| There goes my baby on that ole train
|
| I say come back, come back, baby, come back
|
| Click clack, click clack
|
| There’s my baby wavin' her handkerchief down
|
| My cars stand up when I hear that sound
|
| This time it sound like it’s for keeps
|
| Click clack, click clack
|
| I get down on the ground with the gravel around
|
| I pray t' the Lord that the train will stop
|
