What Am I Doin' Hanging 'Round? Songtext
von Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice

Well, for a short vacation
I went down to Mexico
I didn′t have much time to spend
About a week or so
There I lightly took advantage
Of a girl that loved me so
And I kept on a wonderin'
As the time... did come... to go

What am I doin′ hangin' round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train
To San Antone′
What am I doin′ hangin' round?


Well, she took me to the garden
Just for a little walk
I didn′t know much Spanish
And there was no time to talk
Here so told me that she loved me
Not with words, but with a kiss
And I kept on a wonderin'
Of the train... I could... not miss

What am I doin′ hangin' round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin′ on that train
To San Antone'
What am I doin' hangin′ round?

Well, it′s been a year or so
And I wanna go back again
And if I get the money
Well, I'll take the same ol′ train
I've heard chances come once
And brother I miss mine
And I can′t help but wonder
When i hear... the lonesome whistle... cryin'

What am I doin′ hangin' round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train
To San Antone′
What am I doin′ hangin' round?
