I caught a train, I met a dame
She was a hella, and a real gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And we trucked on down
That old fairlane
With a heave! And a ho!
Well, I just couldn't let her go

Get along, sweet little woman, get along
And you'll be on your way
With a heave! And a ho!
Well, I just couldn't let her go

One Time!

We made a stop in Albequerque
She must'a thought I was a real kind jerk
Got off the train, in El Paso
Felt so good Jack, I couldn't let her go
Get along
Well, I just couldn't let her go

Well! The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a heave! And a ho!
Well, I just couldn't let her go

We made a stop in Albequerque
She must'a thought I was a real kind jerk
Got off the train, in El Paso
Felt so good Jack, I couldn't let her go
Get along
Well, I just couldn't let her go

Well! The train kept a-rollin' all night long
The train kept a-rollin' all night long
I said the train kept a-rollin' all night long
You know the train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a heave! And a ho!
Well, I just couldn't let her go
With a heave! And a ho!
Well, I just couldn't let her go
One more time, with a heave! And a ho!
I just couldn't let her GO!!!
