I caught a train, I met a dame.
She was a hepster, and a real gone dame.
She was pretty, from New York City.
And we trucked on down that ol' fair lane.
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn't let her go.
[Bridge:]
Get along, tricky little woman,
Get along, better be on your way.
Get along, sweet little woman,
Get along, better be on your way.
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn't let her go.
[Chorus:]
Well, the train kept a-rollin' all night long.
The train kept a-rollin' all night long.
The train kept a-movin' all night long.
The train kept a-rollin' all night long.
With a «heave!» and a «ho!»
Well, I just couldn't let her go.
We made a stop in Albuquerque.
She must have thought that I's a real gone jerk.
We got off the train at El Paso,
Our lovin' was so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go.
Get along, well, I just couldn't let her go.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
