Since I've been courting Matilda Ann I try to amuse her the best way I can Sometimes for instance I take her with me And count all the gravestones in our cemetery Then if we feel like a bit of excitement Our way to the station we wend We find a seat up on number three platform And sit there for hours on end. Chorus: Watching the trains come in Watching the trains come in We sit and stroke each other's hand As only lovers understand Watching the trains come in Hearing the porter shout And when we have watched all the trains come in We watch all the trains go out. You'd be surprised at the time, no doubt A feller can spend watching trains in and out I spend some time there with my lady friend To tell you the truth that's all I've got to spend We should look strange though' if through this excitement A blood vessel one of us broke Still, it's quite harmless, when all said and done It's a pass-time that ends up in smoke.
