Текст: Tom T. Hall. Chattanooga Dog.

There's a fairground down in Chattanooga
Where a kiddy train runs up and down the track
There's an old black hound that always hangs around
And he chases that train down and back

And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don't care
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
And it ain't gonna get me anywhere

Well, I'm thinking that you're like that old train
Anybody gets a ticket to ride
I'm like that pup, I won't ever give up
I'd do anything to be by your side

I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don't care
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
And it ain't gonna get me anywhere

Every day when the kids come for playing to ride
That ole kiddy train once more
There's that old faithful hound with his tongue hangin' down
And runnin' till his feet get sore

And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don't care
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
And it ain't gonna get me anywhere
