Lyrics:

A little ole man
Was sitting on a step
And a tear kinda
Trickled down his cheek

I said what's the matter
He said a train just ran over me
I said hmm, how often does this happen
He said every day about this time

I said, well, why do you
Just sit out here then
He said cause I cannot
Believe that it's happening

I said reach out
Take my hand
You'll understand

Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight

Little ole man sitting on the step
Same ole man and a tear
Trickled down his cheek

I said what's the matter
He said a herd of elephants
Just stampeded over me

I said hmm, same hmm
I said how often does this happen
He said every day a half hour
After the train runs over me

I said reach out
Take my hand
You'll understand

Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight

Little ole man sitting on the step
Same ole man and a tear
Trickled down his cheek
I said, hey, how you doing
After that train ran over you

He said what train
I said the train that ran
Over you a half hour before
The elephants stampeded over you
He said what elephants
I said hmm, same hmmm
He said you're a young boy
Said you got a lot to learn

He said reach out
Take my hand
You'll understand

Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
