The Kingston Trio

Buddy Better Get On Down The Line

Buddy, better get on down the line

Buddy, better get on down the line

Here comes ninety-seven

Makin' up some time

Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back

Got a ton of coal poured down the stack

Here comes ninety-seven

Runnin' down the track

Hey, hey, pretty baby, hey, hey

Baby, now don't get in my way

When I'm in town, you call me sugar, honey

When I'm gone, just run around and play

Buddy, better get on down the line

Buddy, better get on down the line

Here comes ninety-seven

Comin' in on time

Met a lot of weather early today

Makin' up an hour and a quarter delay

Here comes ninety-seven

Roarin' all the way

Roll on, pretty baby, roll on

You know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You mess around too long and now I'm leavin'

Bye-bye, adios, farewell, so long

Buddy, better get on down the line

Buddy, better get on down the line

Here comes ninety-seven

Makin' up some time

Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back

Got a ton of coal poured down the stack

Here comes ninety-seven

Runnin' down the track

Buddy, better get on down the line

Buddy, better get on down the line

Here comes ninety-seven

Makin' up some time

Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back

Got a ton of coal poured down the stack

Here comes ninety-seven

Runnin' down the track
