[Verse 1]
My baby said 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
Said she's traveling on the one after 909

[Verse 2]
I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees
You’re only fooling 'round, only fooling 'round with me
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on, baby, don't be cold as icе
Said she's traveling on the onе after 909

[Chorus]
Pick up my bag, run to the station
Railman said "You've got the wrong location"
Pick up my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrong

[Verse 1]
Well, she said 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
She said she's traveling on the one after 909

[Chorus]
Pick up my bag, run to the station
Railman says you’ve got the wrong location
Pick up my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrong

[Verse 1]
Well, she said 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
Said she's traveling on the one after 9-0
Said she's traveling on the one after 9-0
Said she's traveling on the one after 909

[Outro]
Oh, Danny boy, the old savanna calling

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
