Baby here I am
By the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby
Cause he's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
And it won't be long
No it won't be long
I've been so lonesome
Since the man has been gone
There ain't a thing worth mentioning
Nothing been going on
And that's why I know
When the whistle blows
Yeah that it won't be long
No no it won't be long
My daddy told me
When he said goodbye
Yes he did
"I'll be back baby baby by and by"
And that's why I waited
So doggone long yeah
Can't you see how happy I am
Because the man is coming home
So now here I be
By the railroad tracks
Oh waiting for my baby
He's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
Yeah and it won't be long
No no be long
I ain't had no loving
Since you know when
He's a long-gone rooster
And I'm a lonesome hen
And that's why I'm sure
When the whistle blows
Yeah that it won't be long
No no be long
Mmm and I'm so excited
My knees are shaking yeah
Mr. Engineer
Don't you keep me waiting
You hear me
Hurry hurry hurry hurry
Hurry hurry hurry

Waiting for my baby

Coming back to me
