One After 909

By John T. Marck

By John, it was written in 1959, and revived in March 1963 as a possible single, but was never released. During the "Let It Be" sessions something reminded Lennon of it, and it was re-recorded during the roof-top concert. Lennon wrote it as an American style rock n 'roll song. It is probably the most relaxed and fun sounding recording of all those done during these sessions.

My baby says she's traveling on the one after 909

I said move over honey, I'm traveling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice Come on baby, don't be cold as ice,

I said I'm traveling on the one after 909

I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees

You're only fooling around, you're only fooling around with me

I said move over once, move over twice, come on baby, don't be cold as ice

I said I'm traveling on the one after 909 I've got my bag, run to the station,

railman says, you've got the wrong location

Picked up my bags, run right home, then I find, I've got the number wrong

Well, I said I'm traveling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm traveling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice Come on baby, don't be cold as ice,

I said I'm traveling on the one after 909

I've got my bag, run to the station railman says, you've got the wrong location (yeah)

Picked up my bags, run right home (run right home)

Then I find, I've got the number wrong

Well, I said I'm traveling on the one after 909

I said move over honey, I'm traveling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice Come on baby, don't be cold as ice,

I said I'm traveling on the one after 90, I said I'm traveling on the one after 90,

I said I'm traveling on the one after 909
