Have you been broken hearted once or twice?
If it's yes, how did you feel at his first lies?
If it's no, you need this good advice:
Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
His heart is at his mule train, no-no-no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
Go better always 'round him, aaaah

Have you ever been restless in your bed?
And so lonely that your eyes became wet?
Let me tell you that one thing...
Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
No-no-no

Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
His heart is at his mule train, no-no-no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
Go better always 'round him, no-no-no
No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no
