Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just a loudmouth Yankee, I went down to Mexico I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so But I found myself a-thinkin' when the 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 Antone What am I doin' hangin' 'round? [Verse 2] She took me to the garden just for 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 Antone What am I doin' hangin' 'round? [Verse 3] 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] What am I doin' hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone What am I doin' hangin' 'round? [Chorus] What am I doin' hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone What am I doin' hangin' 'round? [Chorus] What am I doin' hangin' 'round? I should be on that train and gone I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
