Pardon me boy is this the Chattanooga Choo Choo Track twenty nine boy you can give me a shine I can afford to board the Chattanooga Choo Choo I've got my fare and just a trifle to spare You leave the Pennsylvania Station bout a quarter to four Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore Dinner in the diner nothing could be finer Than to have your ham and eggs in Carolina When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar Then you know that Tennessee is not very far Shovel all the coal in gotta keep a rolling Woo woo Chattanooga there you are There's gonna be a certain party at the station Satin and lace I used to call funny face She's gonna cry until I tell her that I'll never roam So Chattanooga choo choo won't you choo-choo me home Chattanooga choo choo won't you choo-choo me home

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le voyage en train vers Chattanooga, une ville du Tennessee, avec une ambiance joyeuse et nostalgique. Le narrateur demande des renseignements sur le train, exprimant son enthousiasme à bord et l’impatience de retrouver un être cher à la gare. Il décrit les petites joies du voyage, comme déguster un repas dans le train et feuilleter un magazine, tout en attendant de voir sa bien-aimée qui l’attend avec émotion. Ce périple symbolise à la fois le déplacement physique et le désir de revenir vers ceux que l'on aime.
