[Verso 1]
I got a gal in Dallas, I wave at when I go through
I got a gal in Tulsa, that I toot my whistle to
(Say how do)
[Coro]
I got them all over the land, I'm a locomotive man
[Verso 2]
Left my heart in Omaha Omaha, and I never did quite get it back
I got a Sue in Sioux City, waiting by the railroad track
(Keeps her money in a 'tater sack)
[Coro]
[Verso 2]
Well, I left a little switch engine, 'bout forty miles south of Bangor Maine
Couldn't keep the wheels a turning, shouldn't try to pull my train
[Coro]
[Verso 3]
Well, I had a gal in Jackson, and it sure broke my heart to turn her loose
When I checked my time and moved on, she's hooked on my caboose
