| Train time man, train time, train time
|
| I’m a depot man, I go down to the depot
|
| Early in the morning 'fore the sun come up I ain’t joking man and I wait for that five o ten to come up the line
|
| I can hear her movin' early in the morning
|
| Before the sun come up way down the line
|
| She don’t stop at this depot man
|
| She goes right on through like the crack of dawn
|
| But I go out on that depot platform man
|
| And I wait for that five o ten to come up the line
|
| I go out on that depot platform, I stand right near the edge
|
| And I wait for that train to come by me The early in the morning before the sun come up And when that train’s come and gone man
|
| There is one thing that I know, I’m lying
|
| Long as noon, I go out along the road
|
| And I watch the road gang lighten up the track
|
| I can hear the foreman hollering man
|
| Ay, big boy can’t you move it, big boy move it Can’t you hear that ball of fire
|
| Coming down the line man, she’s right on time
|
| It’s okay big boy you got it straighten out
|
| Move on down the line
|
| This is a small depot, just a dock way out on the line
|
| But I’m always right on time, train time |
