2:19

i lost everything i had in the '29 flood

the barn was buried 'neath a mile of mud

now i've got nothing but the whistle and the steam

my baby's leaving town on the 2:19

i said

hey

hey

i don't know what to do

i will remember you

hey

hey

i don't know what to do

my baby's leaving town on the 2:19

now there's a fellow that's preaching 'bout hell and damnation

bouncing off the walls of the grand central station

i treated her bad

i treated her mean

baby's leaving town on the 2:19

i said

hey

hey

i will remember you

hey

hey

i don't know what to do

hey

i don't know what to do

my baby's leaving town on the 2:19

now i've always been puzzled by the yin and the yang

it'll come out in the wash

but it always leaves a stain

sturm and drang

the luster and the sheen

my baby's leaving town on the -

hey

hey

i don't know what to do

hey

hey

i will remember you

hey

hey

i will remember you

my baby's leaving town on the 2:19

lost the baby with the water

and the preacher stole the bride

sent her out for a bottle

but when she came back inside

she didn't have my whiskey

didn't have my gin

with a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin

i said

hey

hey

i will remember you

yeah baby

i will remember you

my baby's leaving town on the 2:19

on the train you get smaller

as you get farther away

the roar covers everything you wanted to say

was that a raindrop or a tear in your eye?

were you drying your nails or waving goodbye?

hey

hey

i will remember you

hey

hey

i don't know what to do

oh baby

my baby's leaving town on the 2:19

i will remember you

i don't know what to do

baby
