Whoo-ooooo
Travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin'
Whoo-ooooo
Travelin', travelin' along
Whoo-ooooo
Seems I'm travelin' on The Chesapeake And Ohio
I'm lazy like, enjoying the ride
Just passing time away, when suddenly my-oh my-oh
A dream walks in and settles by my side
Well I look at him and I get as limp as custard, he looks at me
I straighten my gown
We both pretend to read, but obviously we're flustered
You see our magazines are upside-down
We talk and talk and talk
(And pretty soon they find)
We're getting more and more..
(Romantically inclined)
It looks like love and that's the situation
(When suddenly the porter calls the station, port!)
Well I'm travelin' on The Chesapeake And Ohio
Where is my dream? Its anyone's guess
Oh for the life of me, I'll never know why-oh why-oh I failed to get his name and his address
I was travelling on
(The Chesapeake And Ohio)
Feelin' lazy like
(Enjoying the ride)
Passing the time away
(Suddenly my-oh my-oh)
A dream walks in and settles by my side
Whoo-ey
That's for me!
One look!
Limp as can be!
(She smiles and straightens her gown)
Then I discovered my magazine was upside-down
We talk and talk and talk
(And pretty soon they find)
We're getting more and more..
(Romantically inclined)
It looks like love and that's the situation
(When suddenly the porter calls the station, port!)
Well I'm travelin' on The Chesapeake And Ohio
Where is my dream? Its anyone's guess
Oh for the life of me, I'll never know why-oh why-oh I failed to get his name and his address
Seeking for my love high and low
Wonder where-oh where-oh did he go
On The Chesapeake
(Chesapeake)
And Ohio!
