pochette album What am i doing hanging around 3:08

Just a loud mouth yankee, i went down to mexico
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so
I lightly took advantage there of a girl who loved me so
I found myself a-thinkin' when my time had come to go
What am i doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to san antone
What am i doin' 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
She told me that she loved me not with words but with a kiss
I found myself a-thinkin' of some ol' train i could not miss
What am i doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to san antone
What am i doin' hangin' 'round?
It's been a year or so and i want to go back again
And if i had the money, i'd ride the same old train
But i guess your chances come but once and i sure have missed mine
Until i find myself a-thinkin' when i hear some whistle cryin'
What am i doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to mexico
What am i doin' hangin' 'round?
