Gene Clark    Kansas City Southern written by Gene Clark


When I was a young boy evening sun went down

Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound
                                                  
Of that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound
         
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by
         *                 
And wish that I was outward bound

Well I'd dream about big cities

And the pleaseues I would keep

Long about twelve-thirty thru phase of my sleep
                                                        
I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound
         
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by
       *                   
And wish that I was outward bound

Well now I've been in a couple of places

Seen a couple of things

Whenever I think back in time

My memory  rings
                                                    
With that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound
         
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by
        *                   
And wish that I was homeward bound
                                
Don't you know how the whistles blows
