That old 'Frisco train makes a mile a minute

That old 'Frisco train makes a mile a minute

Well, in that old coach, I'm gonna sit right in it

I'm on my way, to 'Frisco town

You can toot your whistle, you can ring your bell

You can toot your whistle, you can ring your bell

But I know you been wanting it by the way you smell

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

There's a boa constrictor and a lemon stick

There's a boa constrictor and a lemon stick

I don't mind being with you but my mama's sick

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

I would tell you what's the matter, but I done got scared

I would tell you what's the matter, but I done got scared

You got to wait now, until we go to bed

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

If you was sick, I wouldn't worry you

If you was sick, I wouldn't worry you

I wouldn't want you to do something that you couldn't do

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

Well, if you want it, you can get it, and I ain't mad

Well, if you want it, you can get it, and I ain't mad

If you tell me this is something that you ain't never had

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

Look-a here, you get mad everytime I call your name

Look-a here, you get mad everytime I call your name

I ain't never told you that you couldn't get that thing

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

I woke up this morning about half past five

I woke up this morning about half past five

My baby turned over, cried just like a child

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

I got something to tell you, I don't want to make you mad

I got something to tell you, I don't want to make you mad

I got something for you, make you feel glad

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

Look-a here, look-a here, what you want me to do

Look-a here, look-a here, what you want me to do

Give you my jelly when die for you

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

I got something to tell you, gonna break your heart

I got something to tell you, gonna break your heart

We been together so far, we gotta get apart

I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
