Just a loud-mouthed Yankee, I went down to Mexico

I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so,

Then I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.

But I found myself a-thinkin' when my time

Had come

To go

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

I should be on that train and gone

I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

She took me to the garden and we took a little walk

I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk

Then she told me that she loved me, not with words but with a kiss

And like a fool, I kept on thinkin' of a train

I could not

Miss

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

I should be on that train and gone

I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

Well, it's been a year or so, and I wanna go back again

And if I get the money, well, I'll ride the same old train

But I guess your chances come but once, and boy, I sure missed mine

And still I can't stop thinkin' when I hear

Some whistle

Cryin'

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

I should be on that train and gone

I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE:

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

I should be on that train and gone

I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

etc.
