The Train Kept A-Rollin'

I caught a train, I met a dame
She was a hepster, and a real gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And we trucked on down that ol' fair lane
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn’t let her go
Get along, sweet little woman
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman
Get along, better be on your way
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn’t let her go
Well, the train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-movin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn’t let her go
Giddy-yup
Oowwh
We made a stop in Albuquerque
She must have thought that I’s a real gone jerk
We got off the train at El Paso
Our lovin' was so good, Jack, I couldn’t let her go
Get along, well, I just couldn’t let her go
Get along, sweet-e little woman
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman
Get along, better be on your way
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn’t let her go
Well, that train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn’t let her go-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh
