Standard (EADGBE)

When I was a young boy evening sun went down

Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound

 Of that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound

 Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by

 And wish that I was outward bound

Well I'd dream about big cities

And the pleaseues I would keep

Long about twelve-thirty thru phase of my sleep

 I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound

 Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by

 And wish that I was outward bound

Well now I've been in a couple of places

Seen a couple of things

Whenever I think back in time

My memory rings

 With that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound

 Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by

 And wish that I was homeward bound

 Don't you know how the whistles blows
