So now here I'll be by the railroad track
Comin' back to me on the 503, yeah
There ain't a thing worth mentioning
My daddy told me when he said goodbye, yes, he did
Comin' back to me on the 503
And it won't be long, no it won't be long
Yeah, and it won't be long, no it won't be long
Can't you see how happy I am because my man is comin' home?
That it won't be long, no won't be long
Ooh and it won't be long, no it won't be long
I know, oh when the whistle blows, yeah
That's why I've waited so doggone long, yeah
He's a lone old rooster and I'm a lonesome hen
Hear me tellin' you hurry, hurry
Oh, waitin' for my baby
That's why I'm sure when the whistle blows
I'll be back baby, oh baby bye and bye
I get so lonesome since my man's been gone
Ooh, waitin' for my baby, he's comin' back
I know, oh when the whistle blows
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Mr. Engineer don't you keep me waitin'
He's comin' back, comin' back to me on the 503
That it won't be long, no it won't be long
Ooh, that it won't be long, no it won't be long
I ain't had no lovin' since you know when
Nothin' goin' on and that's why I know when the whistle blows
I'm so excited my knees are shakin', yeah
Baby, here I am on the railroad track
