  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'
