When I was just a child we’d got no car
My dad would take me to the edge of town
To see the train pass by along the highway side.

Come on train, oh train come on.
Come on train, oh train come on.x
Blow your horn and flash your lights at me.
Come on train, oh train come on.

Please mister train driver don’t fall behind because…
Tomorrow it’s Saturday Mister, I ain’t goin’ to school boy
You cannot cheat me fellow I ain’t no fool.
Gonna meet the train comin’ and I hope it will be soon.

Hey mister driver meet me beyond those fires on the edge of town
On a bridge over the highway and the railroad tracks.

Come on train, oh train come on.
When the train is leaving by my hand is gonna wave goodbye
Come on train, oh train come on.
When tomorrow it’s retuming I’m gonna greet and say hello.
Come on train, oh train come on.

Now the train is gone but someday will come back
When I’m old enough I’m gonna take that train and leave this town.

Come on train, oh train come on.
Come on train, oh train come on.
Blow your horn and flash your lights at me.
Come on train, oh train come on.
Pass them tunnels in Los Valos there’s a long way yet to go
Come on train, oh train come on.

Now the train is gone but someday will come back
When I’m old enough I’m gonna take that train and leave this town.

Come on train, oh train come on. Come on train, oh train come on.
