Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Ridin' on some northern railroad
Setting sun's behind me
There'll be many more before us

Rattler, take me home to my baby
One-way ticket bringin' me back to you

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baa
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baa

Been away for such a long time
You've been on my mind the whole time
I've changed cities like an old coach
Train a'rollin', don't know where I'm
Friends I'll never meet again
Memories slippin' by like grains of sand

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baa
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baa

Rattlin', rollin' on down the line
Dreams to carry me through the night
Country lanes sweep by before me
Friendly stars to light my way to you
Rattler, take me home to my baby
One more town, journey's almost through

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baa
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baa
