They let us live in the front of the house
Mereka membiarkan kita tinggal di depan rumah
They let us live in the back
Mereka membiarkan kita hidup di belakang
But there ain't no livin' in the middle of the house
Tapi tidak ada livin ‘di tengah rumah
'Cause that's the railroad track
Karena itu jalur kereta api

When a bill collector comes to the house
Saat seorang kolektor tagihan datang ke rumah
He knocks and bangs on the door
Dia mengetuk dan poni di pintu
So we sit him right down in the middle of the house
Jadi kita duduk dia di tengah rumah
And he never comes back no more
Dan dia tidak pernah kembali lagi

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
Kereta api datang melalui tengah rumah
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
Kereta api datang melalui tengah rumah
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
Itu datang dan melewati tengah rumah
And the trains are all on time
Dan kereta api semuanya tepat waktu

Here comes the five-o-nine
Ini dia jam lima oke sembilan
singin' this song in the middle of the house
Singin ‘nyanyikan lagu ini di tengah rumah

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
Kereta api datang melalui tengah rumah
In and out of the middle of the house
Masuk dan keluar dari tengah rumah
Right smack dab through the middle of the house
Kanan menampar melalui bagian tengah rumah
Where the parlor used to be
Dimana ruang tamu dulu

There's a great big door in the front of the house
Ada pintu besar di bagian depan rumah
There's a little old door in the back
Ada pintu tua kecil di belakang
But we can't have doors in the middle of the house
Tapi kita tidak bisa memiliki pintu di tengah rumah
'Cause that's the railroad track
Karena itu jalur kereta api

A relative came to visit the house
Seorang kerabat datang mengunjungi rumah tersebut
He liked to scream and fuss
Dia suka menjerit dan ribut
So we sat him right down in the middle of the house
Jadi kami mendudukkannya di tengah rumah
And he never more bothered us
Dan dia tidak pernah lagi mengganggu kita

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
Kereta api datang melalui tengah rumah
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
Kereta api datang melalui tengah rumah
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
Itu datang dan melewati tengah rumah
Since the company bought the land.
Sejak perusahaan membeli tanah.
