Early in the morning,
Trying to get to the school
Oh, you get the river crossing
There's only one way through
When I hear the whistle blowing
I get the boxcar blues
Early in the morning,
Trying to get to the school
Everything starts shaking
You'd better hold on to
When I hear the whistle blowing
I get the boxcar blues
Sometime the cars keep coming
I ... the wheels
Then i start..
Till I hit the ground
When the train leave the station
I know just what to do
When I hear the whistle blowing
I get the boxcar blues
(Boxcar blues)
Early in the morning,
Trying to get to to you
You get the river crossing
There's only one way through
When I hear the whistle blowing
I get the boxcar blues
