Engine number 709, when you gonna cross that county line? I'm going up the country, Knoxville, Tennessee When I see my girl, she better be ready for me
Hey conductor, here's my fare Tell me how much longer 'til we're getting there I'm gonna have some loving, sweet Eliza Sue When I see that girl, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna hug her, kiss her, squeeze her tight Tell her good morning before daylight Gonna roll, in that bed we're gonna roll 'Til that poor old rooster crows
Engineer, won't you pull that brake? You got me to Knoxville not a minute late I'm gonna have some loving, sweet as apple pie When I see that girl I hope I just don't die
I'm gonna hug her, kiss her, squeeze her tight Tell her good morning before daylight Gonna roll, in that bed we're gonna roll 'Til that poor old rooster crows
Station man, have you seen my girl? She's about this tall, bluest eyes in the world "I'm sorry," that station man sighed Then from around the corner, I caught my baby's eye
I'm gonna hug her, kiss her, squeeze her tight Tell her good morning before daylight Gonna roll, in that bed we're gonna roll 'Til that poor old rooster crows
