"What Am I Doing Hangin' Around?" lyrics
"What Am I Doing Hangin' Around?"
Just a loud mouth Yankee
I went down to Mexico
I didn't have much time to spend
About a week or so
There I lightly took advantage
Of a girl who loved me so
But I found myself a-thinkin'
When the time had come to go
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that tram and gone
I should be riding' on that tram to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
She took me to the garden
Just for a little walk
I didn't know much Spanish
And there was no time for talk
Then she told me that she loved me
Not with words but with a kiss
And like a fool I kept on thinkin'
Of a tram I could not miss
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that tram and gone
I should be riding' on that tram to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
Well, it's been a year or so
And I want to go back again
And if I get the money
Well, I'll ride the same old train
But I guess your chances come
But once and boy I sure missed mine
And still I can't stop thinkin'
When I hear some whistle cryin'
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that tram and gone
I should be riding' on that tram to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that tram and gone
I should be riding' on that tram to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
I should be on that tram and gone
I should be riding' on that tram to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin' 'round?
