Lyrics:
And now the sun has broken through, it looks like it will stay
Just can't have you comin' home on such a rainy day
The train is leaving
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
Yesterday I heard a lover sigh
Goodbye, oh me oh my!
Seven times he got aboard his train
And seven times he hurried back to give his love again
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
Three conductors, 25 sacks of mail
All
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
just catching colds and missing trains.
Everything happens to me.
I never miss a thing. I've had the measles and the mumps.
And every time I play
Full moon shining through the dark of night
Train wheels holding the track so tight
Carrying the news carrying the mail
Carrying it all on a cold steel
was slicker than the frozen rain
With the strength of sixty steers and a sneer the devil fears
Steps Colonel Crane out from his mighty fightin' train
it's god's work
People in the petrol station talk nuclear proliferation
People in the trees, in the trains and the trams
Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da
Camp by
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
Three conductors, 25 sacks of mail
All
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
just catching colds and missing trains.
Everything happens to me.
I never miss a thing. I've had the measles and the mumps.
And every time I play
get carded
Pack in the mail smell like somebody farted
Beat so stupid I'm going retarded
Don't fuck with Cupid I think that I'm heartless
I'm getting
just catching colds and missing trains.
Everything happens to me.
I never miss a thing. I've had the measles and the mumps.
And every time I play
home again, that's no lie.
Its like a letter in the mail to a brother in jail,
It's a matter of time until you can do a little bit better time.
It
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo-choo train that takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo-choo train that takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes
That sad old train
Sleepin' on an old rusty track
She was from another time
Gone with the wind like the smoke from that old stack
She brought smiles
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
stank
So now I got my mail on, got another sale on
I don't care who you tell, I got my bail on
Fuck jail, man, I'm out on the street
Here to kickin it
of mail
Out on the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out of Kakakee
And it rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' towns that have no name
Dinah:
Oh no!
Buffy:
Oh shucks!
Pearl:
It's the freight trains.
Ashley:
The dumb trucks!
Buffy:
Forty tons of empty chrome.
Dinah:
Yesterday I heard a lover sigh goodbye
Oh me oh my
Seven times he got upon his train
And seven times he hurried back
To kiss his lover gain
