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
chorus
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
chorus
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
(chorus 3x)
