One toke over the line, sweet Jesus,
One toke over the line.
Sittin' downtown in a railway station,
One toke over the line.
Waitin' for the train,
That goes home, sweet Mary,
Hopin' that the train is on time.
Sittin' downtown in a railway station,
One toke over the line.

Who do you love?
I hope it's me.
I've been changin',
As you can plainly see.
I felt the joy and,
I learned about the pain,
That my mama said,
If I should choose,
To make it part of me,
Would surely strike me dead,
And now I'm,

One toke over the line, sweet Jesus,
One toke over the line.
Sittin' downtown in a railway station,
One toke over the line.
Waitin' for the train,
That goes home, sweet Mary,
Hopin' that the train is on time.
Sittin' downtown in a railway station,
One toke over the line.

I sail away,
A country mile.
And now I'm returnin',
And showin' off my smile.
I met all the girls,
And I loved myself a few,
And to my surprise,
Like everything else,
That I've been through,
They opened up my eyes,
And now I'm,

One toke over the line, sweet Jesus,
One toke over the line.
Sittin' downtown in a railway station,
One toke over the line.
(Don't you know I'm just-a,)
Waitin' for the train,
That goes home, sweet Mary,

(Don't you know I'm just-a,)
Waitin' for the train that goes home,
Sweet Mary,

Hopin' that the train is on time.
(Sittin' downtown,)
Sittin' in a railway station,
One toke over the line.

I wanna be one toke over the line,
Sweet Jesus.
(One toke,)
One toke over the line.
(Sittin' downtown,)
Sittin' in a railway station,
(I'm goin' home.)
One toke over the line.
(Over the line the line.)

(Don't ya know I'm just waiting,)
(For the train,)
Waitin' for the train, sweet Mary,
(That goes home, sweet Mary.)
(Hopin that the train is on time.)
I'm hopin' that the train is on time.
(Sittin' downtown,)
Sittin' in a railway station,
(I'm goin' home.)
One toke over the line.
(Over the line.)
Sittin' downtown in a railway station,
One toke over the line.
One toke, a-one toke over the line.
