Lyrics:

Just a loudmouth yankee, I went down to Mexico

I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so

There, I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so

But I found myself a'thinking, when the time had come to go


What am I doing hangin' 'round?

I should be on that train and gone

I should be riding on that train to San Antone

What am I doing hangin' 'round?


She took me to the garden just for a little walk

I didn't know much Spanish, and there was no time for talk

Then she told me that she loved me

Not with words, but with a kiss

And like a fool, I kept on thinking of a train I could not miss


What am I doing hangin' 'round?

I should be on that train and gone

I should be riding on that train to San Antone

What am I doing hangin' 'round?


Well, it's been a year or so

And I wanna go back again

And if I get the money, well I'll ride the same ol' train

But I guess your chances come but once

And boy, I sure missed mine

And still, I can't stop thinking when I hear some whistle cryin'


What am I doing hangin' 'round?

I should be on that train and gone

I should be riding on that train to San Antone

What am I doing hangin' 'round?


What am I doing hangin' 'round
