Well-a
l was born in a boomer's shack
'bout

Choo-choo
rattled my window pane
Sheet-iron
roof tells me every time it rained
Yeah

I
went to a one-room school
Walked
to and from the school
I
carried lunch in a paper sack
It
was one mile over and two miles back
Yeah

A-well-a
yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
And

Poppa
drove a choo-choo train
One
sister was a righteous girl
But
the other 'un' was a woman of the world
