Asleep At The Wheel
"Chattanooga Choo Choo" lyrics

Chattanooga Choo Choo

Pardon me boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo
All aboard track twenty nine
Can you give me a shine
Can you afford
To board the Chattanooga choo choo
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare

You leave the Pennsylvania station
About a quarter to four
You read a magazine
And then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the Diner
Nothing could be finer
Than 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
Shovell all the coal
In gotta keep a rolling
Ooh ooh Chattanooga there you are

There's gonna be a certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call funny face
She's gonna cry
When I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo choo me home

All aboard
You afford
Chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo choo me home

You leave the Pennsylvania station
About a quarter to four
You read a magazine
And then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the Diner
Nothing could be finer
Than 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
Shovell all the coal
In gotta keep a rolling
Ooh ooh Chattanooga there you are
