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