One day the train was passing
  I caught it comin' by
  To look this old world over under god's blue sky
  My darlin' stood there weepin' as I was lookin' back
  I kissed my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
  
  Bye bye so long there's something down the track it's callin' me
  Bye bye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be
  Now when I get this feelin' don't try to hold me back
  I'll only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
  
  I like to keep on goin' it helps me when I'm blue
  I get the urge to travel that's all I want to do
  I know I just can't settle down because I like to roam
  And when I hear that whistle blow I gotta move along
  
  Bye bye so long there's something down the track it's callin' me
  Bye bye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be
  Now when I get this feelin' don't try to hold me back
  I'll only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
  
  I know my baby loves me I love my baby too
  But she don't understand me when I'm feelin' blue
  And when I hear that whistle blow I hurry home to pack
  And kiss my baby cryin' in the smoke along the track
  
  Bye bye so long there's something down the track it's callin' me
  Bye bye so long I guess that's just the way I'll always be
  Now when I get this feelin' don't try to hold me back
  I'll only leave you cryin' in the smoke along the track
