lyrics from reprint of 1965-67 sheet music
C G7 C
Just a loud-mouthed Yankee, I went down to Mexico
G7 C
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so,
F Bb F Bb F
Then I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.
F Dm Bb
But I found myself a-thinkin' when my time
F
Had come
C G7 C7 Am7 C7
To go
F Dm Gm7
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
A Bb
I should be on that train and gone
Db F Dm
I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'
Gm7 C F
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
C G7 C
She took me to the garden and we took a little walk
G7 C
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk
F Bb F Bb F
Then she told me that she loved me, not with words but with a kiss
F Dm Bb
And like a fool, I kept on thinkin' of a train
F
I could not
C G7
Miss
F Dm Gm7
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
A Bb
I should be on that train and gone
Db F Dm
I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'
Gm7 C F
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
C G7
Well, it's been a year or so, and I wanna go back again
G7 C
And if I get the money, well, I'll ride the same old train
F Bb F Bb F
But I guess your chances come but once, and boy, I sure missed mine
F Dm Bb
And still I can't stop thinkin' when I hear
F
Some whistle
C G7 C7 Am7 C7
Cryin'
F Dm Gm7
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
A Bb
I should be on that train and gone
Db F Dm
I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'
Gm7 C F
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE:
F Dm Gm7
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
A Bb
I should be on that train and gone
Db F Dm
I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'
Gm7 C F
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
etc.
