baby, baby, please believe me
I would never, never do anything to hurt you
baby, baby, please believe me
I would never, never do anything to you to make you blue
but yesterday i got this letter
from the boy I loved before I ever knew you
before I even knew you

and the train from kansas city is coming into town
the train from kansas city is a-coming
and there's nothing I can do, can't make it turn around

baby, baby, please believe me
nothing in this world would tear us apart, we'll never, never part
so wait right here and I will hurry
I'll be back in the time it takes to break a heart
I gotta break his heart

cause the train from kansas city is coming into town
the train from Kansas city is a-coming
and there's nothing I can do, can't make it turn around

no, I never answered his letter
I just couldn't tell him that way
no, I never answered his letter
I just didn't know what to say
now I'm going down to the station
I'll be there at ten after two
I'll show him the ring on my finger
I don't what else I can do

the train from kansas city is coming into town
the train from kansas city is a-coming
and there's nothing I can do, can't make it turn around

here comes the train...
