What Am I Doing Hanging 'Round? Songtext
von The Monkees

Just a loudmouth Yankee I went down to Mexico
I didn′t have much time to spend, about a week or so
There I lightly took advantage of a girl who loved me so
But I found myself a-thinkin' when the time had come to go

What am I doin′ hangin' 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin′ on that train to San Antone
What am I doin′ hangin' ′round?

She took me to the garden just for a little walk
I didn't know much Spanish and there was no time for talk
Then she told me that she loved me, not with words but with a kiss
And like a fool I kept on thinkin′ of a train I could not miss


What am I doin' hangin′ 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone
What am I doin′ hangin′ 'round?

Well, it′s been a year or so, and I want to go back again
And if I get the money, well, I'll ride the same old train
But I guess your chances come but once and boy I sure missed mine
And still, I can′t stop thinkin' when I hear some whistle cryin′

What am I doin' hangin' ′round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin′ on that train to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin′ 'round?

What am I doin′ hangin' ′round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin' on that train to San Antone
What am I doin' hangin′ ′round?


What am I doin' hangin′ 'round?
I should be on that train and gone
I should be ridin′ on that train to San Antone
What am I doin'...
