Train with the lonely whistle Blowing down the track And oh, train with the lonely whistle Blowing down the track Come on and bring your precious cargo Bring my baby back Train, you're huffing and a-blowing Because you work too fast Listen to me, train, you're huffing and a-blowing Because you work too fast Don't you know that you've got to take it easy If you wanna last Listen to me, train Take it nice and easy When you go 'round them curves Do that for me Take it nice and easy When you go 'round the curves Now don't shake up my baby And don't upset her nerves Train, go on and blow your whistle Blow it loud and strong Train, go on and blow your whistle Blow it loud and strong 'Cause I want the world to know That baby's coming home
