I took a walk down to the railroad yard
to see the trains go by;
I knew that trains would run this day,
but I did not know what time.
Good morning Mister railroad man,
what time does your train roll by?
At nine sixteen and two fortyfour,
and twentyfive minutes till five.
It's nine sixteen and two fortyfour,
and twentyfive minutes till five.
I thank you, Mister railroad man,
I want to watch your trains roll by.
