[Verse 1]
Train of love's a-coming
Big black wheels a-humming
People waiting at the station
Happy hearts are drumming
Trainman, tell me maybe
Ain't you got my baby?

[Chorus]
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's coming home

[Verse 2]
Now stop your whistle blowing
'Cause I've got ways of knowing
You're bringing other people's lovers
But my own keeps going
Train of love's deceiving
When she's not gone, she's leaving

[Chorus]
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's coming home

[Verse 3]
Train of love, now hasten
Sweethearts standing waiting
Here and there and everywhere
They're gonna be embracing
Trainman, tell me maybe
Ain't you got my baby?
[Chorus]
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's coming home

[Verse 4]
Train of love's a-leaving
Leaving my heart grieving
But early or late, I sit and wait
Because I'm still believing
We'll walk away together
Though I may wait forever

[Chorus]
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam
But everybody's baby but mine's coming home
