I would like to know who wrote this Song/Tune played by Teddy Foster and his band.

Do you have a link to where one might hear the lyrics? I'm not clear about the title of the song.

Thanks.

On December 15, 1944, Billboard magazine announced the release of TAKIN' THE TRAINS OUT, performed by Al Trace and His Silly Symphonists, with vocal by Toni Arden, on National 7005.

I made this transcription from a different recording, which I heard on Spotify:


TAKING THE TRAINS OUT
As sung by Lola Dee on "Girls Allowed: A Collection of Female Vocalists of the '50s"

CHORUS: Take, take, takin' the trains out,
Fly, fly, flyin' the planes out,
Flyin' the planes out 'n' takin' the trains out,
Chasin' after you.
Take, take, takin' the trains out,
Hike, hike, hikin' the lanes out,
Hikin' the lanes out 'n' takin' the trains out,
Chasin' after you.

1. From Baltimore to Birmingham,
Way down to New Orleans,
A lovesick fool, a stubborn mule,
I don't know what failure means.

2. From Oregon to Florida,
Clear to the Golden Gate,
I'll follow you, sweetheart, all through
The whole darn forty-eight.
