C                                  G7                C
Just a loud-mouthed Yankee, I went down to Mexico
                                   G7             C
I didn't have much time to spend, about a week or so,
       F             Bb                F             Bb     F
Then I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so.
      F              Dm               Bb
But I found myself a-thinkin' when my time 
    F
Had come

C G7 C7 Am7 C7
To go

F              Dm             Gm7
     What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
A                                  Bb
     I should be on that train and gone
Db                              F            Dm
     I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'
Gm7            C              F
     What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

    C                            G7                  C
She took me to the garden and we took a little walk
                                     G7              C
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk
         F                Bb                      F           Bb     F
Then she told me that she loved me, not with words but with a kiss
    F              Dm               Bb
And like a fool, I kept on thinkin' of a train
  F
I could not
C       G7
Miss

F              Dm             Gm7
     What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
A                                  Bb
     I should be on that train and gone
Db                              F            Dm
     I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'
Gm7            C              F
     What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

           C                        G7
Well, it's been a year or so, and I wanna go back again
                                   G7                C
And if I get the money, well, I'll ride the same old train
      F                  Bb                    F               Bb    F
But I guess your chances come but once, and boy, I sure missed mine
    F                  Dm              Bb
And still I can't stop thinkin' when I hear
     F
Some whistle

C G7 C7 Am7 C7
Cryin'

F              Dm             Gm7
     What am I doin' hangin' 'round?

     I should be on that train and gone
Db                              F            Dm
     I should be ridin' on that train to San Anton'

     What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
