The railroad comes through the middle of the house The railroad comes through the middle of the house The trains all come through the middle of the house Since the company bought the land They let us live in the front of the house They let us live in the back But there ain't no living in the middle of the house Cause that's the railroad track When a bill collector comes to the house He knocks and bangs on the door So we sit him right down in the middle of the house And he never comes back no more No, he never comes back no more The railroad comes through the middle of the house The railroad comes through the middle of the house It comes and goes through the middle of the house And the trains are all on time here comes on 5:09 The railroad comes through the middle of the house In and out of the middle of the house Right smack dab in the middle of the house Where the parlour used to be There's a great big door in the front of the house A little old door in the back But we cannot have doors in the middle of the house Cause that's the railroad track A relative came to visit the house He liked to scream and fuss So we sit him right down in the middle of the house And he never bothered us No, he never bothered us The railroad comes through the middle of the house The railroad comes through the middle of the house It comes and goes through the middle of the house Since the company bought the land We're singing this song from the middle of the house.
