My baby said she's trav'ling on the one after 909 I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line I said move over once, move over twice Come on baby don't be cold as ice. Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909. I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees, You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me. I said move over once, move over twice Come on baby don't be cold as ice. Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909. I got my bag, run to the station Railman says you've got the the wrong location I got my bag, run right home Then I find I've got the number wrong Well she said she's trav'ling on the one after 909 I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line I said move over once, move over twice Come on baby don't be cold as ice. Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909. I got my bag, run to the station Railman says you've got the the wrong location I got my bag, run right home Then I find I've got the number wrong Well she said she's trav'ling on the one after 909 I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line I said move over once, move over twice Come on baby don't be cold as ice. Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0, Said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0, Said she's trav'ling on the one after 909.
