Dillard & Clark - Kansas City Southern lyrics

When I was a young boy evening sun went down Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound Of that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by And wish that I was outward bound Well I'd dream about big cities And the pleasures I would keep Long about twelve-thirty thru the phases of my sleep I'd hear that Kansas City Southern, man that'a a lonesome sound Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by And wish that I was outward bound Well now I've been in a couple of places Seen a couple of things Whenever I think back in time My memory forth rings With that Kansas City Southern, man that'a a lonesome sound Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by And wish that I was homeward bound Don't you know how the whistles blows Don't you know how the whistles blows Don't you know know know how the whistle blows
