Lyrics for 'O, The Train's Off the Track'

O, the trains off the track,
and I can't get it back,
and I can't get a letter to my home.
To my home, to my home,
And I can't get a letter to my home.

If you say so,
I'll railroad no more;
I'll sidetrack my train and go home.
And go home, and go home,
I'll sidetrack my train and go home.
