Waitin' for the train to come in, Wait - in' 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.
