Gene Clark Kansas City Southern written by Gene Clark
E When I was a young boy evening sun went down
Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound AE Of that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound B Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by A * E And wish that I was outward bound E Well I'd dream about big cities
And the pleaseues I would keep
Long about twelve-thirty thru phase of my sleep AE I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound B Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by A * E And wish that I was outward bound E Well now I've been in a couple of places
Seen a couple of things
Whenever I think back in time
My memory rings AE With that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound B Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by A * E And wish that I was homeward bound C#m Don't you know how the whistles blows
