Chatanooga Choo Choo Lyrics

Hello Railroad?
Is this the railroad?
I wanna one way ticket down to Tennessee
I’m leavin’ immediately
Chattanooga here I come
Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo
Right on track 29, boy you can give me a shine
I can’t afford to board a Chattanooga Choo Choo
I’ve, I’ve, I’ve got my fare
And just a trifle to spare
You leave the Pennsylvania station ‘bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine and then you’re in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
Then to have your ham and eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar

Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rolling
Woo woo, Chattanooga there you are
There’s gonna be a certain party at the station
In, in satin and lace
I used to call funny face
She’s gonna cry
Until I tell her that I’ll never roam
So Chattanooga choo choo
Won’t you choo choo me home?
Hey there boy
Yes, yes, yes I’m a coming back to Tennessee
Hey there boy
Yes, yes, yes I wanna one way ticket
On the Chattanooga choo choo train
Hey, hey pardon me boy
Mmh, mmh is that the Chattanooga
Choo choo choo choo
Right on track 29
My, baby, I’m fine
Boy you can give me a shine
Give me a very good shine
There’s gonna be a certain party at the station
All dressed up in satin and lace
Oh what a funny face
(I used to call funny face)
I used to call a-ha just a funny face
She’s gonna cry
Until I tell her that I’ll never roam
So Chattanooga choo choo
Won’t you choo choo me home?
