JOHN 1980: 'That was something I wrote when I was about seventeen.
I lived at 9 Newcastle Road.
I was born on the ninth of October – the ninth month.
It's just a number that follows me around, but numerologically, apparently I'm a number six or a three or something, but it's all part of nine.'PAUL circa-1994: 'It was one that we always liked doing, and we rediscovered it.
There were a couple of tunes that we wondered why we never put out – either George Martin didn't like them enough to, or he favored others.
It's not a great song but it's a great favorite of mine because it has great memories for me of John and I trying to write a bluesy freight-train song.
There were alot of those songs at the time, like 'Midnight Special,' 'Freight Train,' 'Rock Island Line,' so this was the 'One After 909.' She didn't get the 909, she got the one after it!'

My baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees
You're only fooling around, you're 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 trav'ling on the one after 909I got my bag, run to the station
Railman says you've got the the wrong location
I got my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrongWell I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909I got my bag, run to the station
railman says you've got the the wrong location
I got my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrongWell I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 90
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 90
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 909[Oh Danny Boy, the old summer is calling.]
