I lost e verything I had in the '2 9 flood
T he barn was buried 'neath a m ile of mud
Now I've g ot nothing but the w histle and the steam
M y baby's leaving on the 2 :19
Now there's a f ellow that's preaching 'bout hell a nd damnation
B ouncing off the walls in the G rand Central Station
I t reated her bad I treated her mean
M y baby's leaving on the 2 :19
I said h ey hey I don't know what to do
H ey hey I will remember you
H ey hey I don't know what to do
M y baby's leaving on the 2 :19
Now I've a lways been puzzled by the y in and the yang
Come o ut in the wash but it a lways leaves a stain
S turm and Drang the l uster and the sheen
M y baby's leaving on the 2 :19
Toss the b aby with the water and the preacher s tole the bride
Sent h er out for a bottle but when s he came back inside
Didn't h ave my whiskey she didn't h ave my gin
But a h at full of feathers a nd a wicked g rin
H ey he y I do n't know what to do
H ey hey I will remember y ou
H ey hey I d on't know what to d o
M y bab y's leaving on the 2:19

On the t rain you get smaller as you get f urther away
The r oar covers everything you w anted to say
W as that a r aindrop i n the corner o f your eye?
W ere you d rying your nails or w aving goodbye?
I s aid hey hey I will remember you
H ey hey
I don't know what to do
H ey hey I will remember y ou
My baby's leaving o n the 2:19
I said Hey hey I don't know what to do
H ey hey
I will remember you
H ey hey
I don't know what to do
M y baby's leaving on the 2 :19
I said h ey hey
I don't know what to do
H ey hey
I will remember you
H ey hey
I don't know what to do
M y baby's leaving on the 2 :19
