Oh, the train of love
keeps a-movin'
on down the track.
I left so fast that
I even forgot to pack.
Well, I called my baby
on the telephone.
I told her to meet me
at the station
'cuz I'm comin' home.
Yeah, yeah!
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh,
shovel more coal on the fire.
Well, I'm a-comin' home,
hopin' to see my desire.
Well, I miss her so,
how much she'll never know,
and when I get back
I'll never let her go.
No, no!
Oh, my heart keeps beatin', a-beatin' away.
It seems to tell me, it seems to say
to get right home just as quick as you can
so she'll be in the arms of a lovin' man.
Well, the train of love
keeps a-movin' on down the line.
Well, on the locomotive,
there's a number ninety-nine.
Well, that's for ninety-nine kisses
that I'm a-gonna give
and ninety-nine hugs
and then we're gonna live.
Yeah, yeah!
I said woo-woo-woo!
I said choo-choo-choo!
I said woo-woo-woo!
I said choo-choo!
