(tom waits and kathleen brennan)

I lost everything i had in the '29 flood
The barn was buried 'neath a mile of mud
Now i've got nothing but the whistle and the steam
My baby's leaving town on the 2:19

I said hey hey i don't know what to do
I will remember you
Hey hey i don't know what to do
My baby's leaving town on the 2:19

Now there's a fellow that's preaching 'bout hell and damnation
Bouncing off the walls of the grand central station
I treated her bad i treated her mean
Baby's leaving town on the 2:19

I said hey hey i will remember you
Hey hey i don't know what to do
Hey i don't know what to do
My baby's leaving town on the 2:19

Now i've always been puzzled by the yin and the yang
It'll come out in the wash but it always leaves a stain
Sturm and drang the luster and the sheen
My baby's leaving town on the -

Hey hey i don't know what to do
Hey hey i will remember you
Hey hey i will remember you
My baby's leaving town on the 2:19

Lost the baby with the water and the preacher stole the bride
Sent her out for a bottle but when she came back inside
She didn't have my whiskey didn't have my gin
With a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin

I said hey hey i will remember you
Yeah baby i will remember you
My baby's leaving town on the 2:19

On the train you get smaller as you get farther away
The roar covers everything you wanted to say
Was that a raindrop or a tear in your eye?
Were you drying your nails or waving goodbye?

Hey hey i will remember you
Hey hey i don't know what to do
Oh baby
My baby's leaving town on the 2:19

I will remember you
I don't know what to do baby
