[Verse 1]
And over in the teacher's home
She waited by the phone
For calls which never rang
And people who never sang
Train man rambled dusty into town
And made his daily round
Train man and he comes in the night
Brings her no love but he's right
Yes, he's right

[Verse 2]
The fog and misty morning dew
She'd seen his oily face
And he had touched her heart
And taken it apart
And though he never stopped to speak a word
His voice was all she heard
Train man and he comes in the night
Brings her no love but he's right
Oh yes, he's right

[Bridge]
Little girl, you're a pretty little girl
Won't you come with me a while?
Little girl in your frilly little world
Won't you give me your sweet smile?
[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
If you come tonight, bring someone
If you come tonight, bring someone
Don't come alone
If you come alone, don't come
Don't come
Don't come

[Chorus]
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Oh, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know he's right
Yes, I know
Oh, yes I know, yeah
I know I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right, now
I know I'm
I, I, I know I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right
Oh, woman I know I'm right, yeah
Oh yeah
I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right, yeah
I know I'm right
[Outro]
She held his hand
And whispered soft
"I love you, train man"
He just grumbled
Like an engine as it rumbles
And said, "Someday"
Train man and he knows something's wrong
And he's right
Oh yes, he's right
