Lyrics:What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?

What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?

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
And like a fool I kept on thinkin' how my time had come to go

What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I could be ridin' on that train to San Anton'
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

Well she took me to a garden just for a little walk
And I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time to talk
There she told me that she loved me, not with words but with a kiss
And like a fool I kept on thinkin' of the 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 Anton'
What am I doin' 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 old train
But I guess you get your chance but once, and boy, I sure missed mine
Still I can't help 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 San Anton'
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
