Singing bye bye, baby boy
Now the world's been cruel
Yeah, try to clean up this town
And now it's hello Hopeville
Just like some people wait for a train
Well, well, well, looky here, looky here
He went down to the station in his three piece suit
But there was nothing more to say
Well, well, well
I know you're gonna treat me
This time she really let me down
It was hello Hopeville, I need a vacation
I hope they treat you well, well, well
Got me a runaway kid, got no money never did
He was waitin' for a station
Well, well, well, get gone
Now she had cried for him to stay
I hope they treat you well, well, well
Got the sense to come in out of the rain
Well, well, well, what have we got here?
And I'm singing bye-bye, baby boy
I thought I'd go back to school
As she was waving a white kerchief as the train pulled away
Well, well, well
It was another situation as the train left the station
