| The railroad comes through the middle of the house
|
| The railroad comes through the middle of the house
|
| The trains all come through the middle of the house
|
| Since the company bought the land
|
| They let us live in the front of the house
|
| They let us live in the back
|
| But there ain’t no livin' in the middle of the house
|
| 'Cause that’s the railroad track
|
| When a bill collector comes to the house
|
| He knocks and bangs on the door
|
| So we sit him right down in the middle of the house
|
| And he never comes back no more
|
| The railroad comes through the middle of the house
|
| The railroad comes through the middle of the house
|
| It comes and goes through the middle of the house
|
| And the trains are all on time
|
| Here comes the five-o-nine
|
| Singin' this song in the middle of the house
|
| The railroad comes through the middle of the house
|
| In and out of the middle of the house
|
| Right smack dab through the middle of the house
|
| Where the parlor used to be
|
| There’s a great big door in the front of the house
|
| There’s a little old door in the back
|
| But we can’t have doors in the middle of the house
|
| 'Cause that’s the railroad track
|
| A relative came to visit the house
|
| He liked to scream and fuss
|
| So we sat him right down in the middle of the house
|
| And he never more bothered us
|
| The railroad comes through the middle of the house
|
| The railroad comes through the middle of the house
|
| It comes and goes through the middle of the house
|
| Since the company bought the land |
