Waitin' For The Train To Come In

Peggy Lee · At The Supper Club [2009]

Waitin' for the train to come in

Waitin' for my man to come home

I've counted every minute of each live-long day

Been so melancholy since he went away

I've shed a million teardrops or more

Waitin' for the one I adore

I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track

Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back

I'm waitin' for my life to begin

Waitin' for the train to come in



I'm waitin' in the depot by the railroad track

Lookin' for the choo-choo train that brings him back

I'm waitin' for my life to begin

Waitin' for the train to come in



Waiting

Waiting

I'm waitin' for the train to come in
