2:19
I lost everything I had in the '29 flood
The barn was buried 'neath a mile of mud
Now I've got nothing but the whistle and the steam
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
Now there's a fellow that's preaching 'bout hell and damnation
Bouncing off the walls in the Grand Central Station
I treated her bad, I treated her mean
Baby's leaving on the 2: 19
I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Hey, hey, I will remember you
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
Now I've always been puzzled by the yin and the yang
Come out in the wash, but it always leaves a stain
Sturm and Drang, the luster and the sheen
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
Toss the baby with the water, and the preacher stole the bride
Sent her out for a bottle, but when she came back inside
Didn't have my whiskey, she didn't have my gin
But a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Hey, hey, I will remember you
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
On the train you get smaller, as you get farther away
The roar covers everything you wanted to say
Was that a raindrop in the corner of your eye?
Were you drying your nails or waving goodbye?
I said hey, hey, I will remember you
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Hey, hey, I will remember you
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Hey, hey, I will remember you
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
Hey, hey, I will remember you
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
I said, hey...
The barn was buried 'neath a mile of mud
Now I've got nothing but the whistle and the steam
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19

I treated her bad, I treated her mean
Baby's leaving on the 2: 19

Hey, hey, I will remember you
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do

Hey, hey, I will remember you
Hey, hey, I don't know what to do
My baby's leaving on the 2: 19
I said, hey...
