Lyrics:

Have you been broken-hearted once or twice?
If it's yes, how did you feel at his first lies?
If it's no, you need this good advice
Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
As far ahead as a mule train, no, no, no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
You're better off without him, ah...

Have you ever been restless in your bed
And so lonely your eyes became wet?
Let me tell you then one thing
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
No, no, no
Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
As far ahead as a mule train, no, no, no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
You're better off without him
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
