| 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 an 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
