On the other side
Of the tracks
That's where
I'm goin' to be
On the other
Side of
That great divide
Between fame
Fortune and me
Gonna put my
Shadows behind me
Give my inhibitions
The axe
And tomorrow
Morning
You'll find me
On the other side
Of the tracks
On the other side
Of that line
Where life
Is fancy and free
Gonna sit and fan
On my fat divan
While the butler
Buttles the tea
But for now
I'm facin'
The fences
And I can't afford
To relax
When the whole
Kaboodle commences
On the other side
Of the tracks!
So I'm off and
Runnin'
Over the rail
I'm go'n' gunnin'
After the quail
Off and runnin'
Send me the mail
To the great
Big world
On the other side
The great big world
On the
Farther side
To that great
Big world
On the other side
Of the tracks
So I'm off
And runnin'
Over the rail
I'm go'n' gunnin'
After the quail
Off and runnin'
Send me the mail
To the great
Big world
On the other side
Great big world
On the
Farther side
To that great
Big world
On the other side
Of the tracks
Great big world
On the other side
Great big world
That'll open wide
To that great
Big world
On the other side
Of the tracks...!
