Just for a short vacation
I went down to Mexico
I didn't have much time to spend
About a week or so
And I lightly took advantage
Of a firl that loved me so
But I found myself thinking
When the time had come to go
Wnat am I doing hangin' round
I should be on htat train and gone
I should be riding that train to San Anton'
What am I doing hangin' round
Well she took me to the garden
Just for a little walk
I didn't know much Spanish
And there was no time to talk
Then she told me that she loved me
Not with words but with a kiss
But I kept on thinkin'
Of the train I would not miss
What am I doing hangin' round
I should be on that train and gone
I should be riding that train to San Anton'
What am I doing hangin' round
Well it's been a year or so
And I want to go back again
And if I get the money
Well I'll ride the same old train
Well I guess you r chances come but once
And though I sure missed mine
But I can't help wondering
When I hear some whistle crying
What am I doing hanging round
I should be on that train and gone
I should be riding on that train to San Anton'
What am I doing hangin' round
What am I doing hangin' round
