Train of love's [bad word] , big black wheels a-hummin' 
People waitin' at the station, happy hearts are [bad word]  
Trainman tell me maybe, ain't you got my baby 
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam 
But everybody's baby but [bad word]  home. 

Now stop your whistle blowin', 'cause I got ways of knowin' 
Your bringin' other people's lovers, but my own keeps goin' 
Train of love's deceivin', when she's not gone she's leavin' 
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam 
But everybody's baby but [bad word]  home 

Train of love's now hastin', sweethearts standin' waitin' 
Here and there and everywhere, there's going to be embracin' 
Trainman tell me maybe, ain't you got my baby 
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam 
But everybody's baby but [bad word]  home 

Train of love's a-leavin', leavin' my heart grievin' 
But early or late, I sit and wait, because I'm still believin' 
We'll walk away together, though I may wait forever 
Every so often everybody's baby gets the urge to roam 
But everybody's baby but [bad word]  home
