Angels come to paint the desert nightly When the moon is beaming brightly Along the Santa Fe Trail Stardust scattered all along the highway On a rainbow-colored skyway Along the Santa Fe Trail
Beside you I'm riding every hill and dale Wide shadows hide you Just like a pretty purple veil Thereby hangs a tale
I found you And the mountains that surround you Are the wall I built around you Along the Santa Fe trail...
(Hi there Tex, what you say) Step aside partner, it's my day Bend an ear and listen to my version (Of a really solid Tennesse excursion)
Pardon me, boy Is that the Chattanooga choo choo? (Yes yes track twenty-nine) Boy, you can gimme a shine
(Can you afford To board the Chattanooga choo choo?) I've got my fare (And just a trifle to spare)
You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer (Then to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina)
When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar Then you know that Tennessee is not very far Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin' (Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are)
There's gonna be A certain party at the station Satin and lace (doo doo) I used to call "Funny Face"
She's gonna cry Until I tell her that I'll never roam (So Chattanooga choo choo) Won't you choo-choo me home?
(Chattanooga Chattanooga) Get aboard (Chattanooga Chattanooga) All Aboard (Chattanooga Chattanooga)
(Chattanooga choo choo) Won't you choo-choo me home? (Chatanooga Choo Choo)
