Train of love's a comin', big black wheels are hummin' People waitin' at the station, happy hearts are drummin' Train men tell me maybe, ain't she got my baby Ever so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam But everybody's baby but mine's coming home Now stop your whistle blowin' 'cause I've got ways of knowin' You're bringin' other people's lovers but my own keeps goin' Train of love deceivin', when she's not gone she's leavin' Ever so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam But everybody's baby but mine's coming home Train of love now hasten, sweethearts stand and waitin' Here and there and everywhere there'll gonna be embracin' Train men tell me maybe, ain't she got my baby Ever so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam But everybody's baby but mine's coming home Train of love's a leavin', leavin' my heart grievin' But early or late I sit and wait because I'm still believin' We'll walk away together, though I may wait forever Ever so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam But everybody's baby but mine's coming home
