Waitin' for the train to come in Waitin' for my man to come home I've counted ev'ry minute of each livelong day Been so melancholy since he went away I've shed a million teardrops or more Waitin' for the one I adore I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back I'm waitin' for my life to begin Waitin' for the train to come in
