Waylon Jennings - I Got the Train Sittin' Waitin' Lyrics

(Billy Ray Reynolds)

I took my woman
Down to the local depot
From there to anywhere
If you want to you can go.

I said, ''Now, pretty mama,
I've had myself enough
Of your fussing and your fighting
And it's sure gonna get rough.''

''I got the train sittin' waitin',
Leaving right on time
So if you want to go better get aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind.''

''I've tried to love you woman
Every way I know how
But you keep on a nagging
And I've had it startin' now.''

''If you don't like the way you're living
You know what you can do
Said, ''The trains sitting there,
It's a big black choo-choo.''

''I got the train sittin' waitin'',
Leaving right on time
So if you want to go better get aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind.''

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I looked up on the schedule
and it said nine-thirteen
The central is a leaving
All the lights are turnin' green.

The whistle is a blowin',
Here's your ticket and your pass
The door is open wide
So don't let your coat tail drag.

I got the train sittin' waitin'',
Leaving right on time
So if you want to go better get aboard
But you be the one to make up your mind...''
