Gene Clark Kansas City Southern Lyrics

Kansas City Southern Lyrics

When I was a young boy evening sun went down 
 
Stand off by the railroad tracks and I`d listen for the sound 
A E 
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 
A E 
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 
A E 
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
