Woh! Bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
Oh, bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
Boo-dow, boo-day, a-bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
I caught the train, I met a real dame
She was a hipster and a gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And she trucked on down the ol' fair lane
With a hee, and a hoo
And I just couldn't let her go
So get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
With a hee, and a hoo
And I just couldn't let her go
Yes, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Mmm, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
And I still wouldn't let 'er go

We made a stop at Albuquerque
She must have thought I was a real gone jerk
We got off the train in El Paso
Her lovin' was so fine Jack, I couldn't let 'er go
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
With a hee, and a hoo
And I sure couldn't let her go
Yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Ooh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Mm, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Yeah-yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Ooh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
And I still wouldn't let 'er go
