Lyrics

Waitin' for the train to come in

Waitin' for my man to come home

I've counted every minute of each live long day

Been so melancholic since he went away

I've shed a million tear-drops or more

Waitin' for the one I adore

I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track

Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back

I'm waitin' for my life to begin

Waitin' for the train to come in

I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track

Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back

I'm waitin' for my life to begin

Waitin' for the train to come in

Waitin'

Waitin'

I'm waitin' for the train to come in
