Two trains
Two railroad tracks
One goin’
And the other one comin' back
There goes my baby on that ol' train
I say, come back, come back baby, come back
Click clack, click clack
There's my baby wavin' her handkerchief down
My ears stand up when I hear that sound
This time it sounds like it's for keeps
Click clack, click clack
I get down on the ground
With the gravel around
I pray to the Lord
That train will stop
Turn right around
And never stop 'till it drop my baby off
Now I had this girl
Threatened to leave me all the time
Maybe you had a girl like that
I hear her all the time cryin'
Well I had this girl
Threatened to leave me all the time
Threatenin' to go down
Go down to N'Orleans
An' get herself lost an' found
Maybe you had a girl like that
She's always threatenin' to go down to N'Orleans
And get herself lost 'n found
C'mon I'll play it for ya'
Lemme tell ya' 'bout it
Oh yeah, lemme tell ya' 'bout it
There were two railroad tracks
Click clack, click clack
Oh, one ah them leavin'
And the other one comin' back
I was two tears from ya' baby
You were goin' once
You were goin' way up the track
The train was leavin'
I could see ya wavin' your handkerchief
