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?
