Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
|
Can't buy a thrill.
|
Well, I've been up all night,
|
Leanin' on the window sill.
|
Well, if I die
|
On top of the hill
|
And if I don't make it,
|
You know my baby will.
|
|
Don't the moon look good, mama,
|
Shinin' through the trees ?
|
Don't the brakeman look good, mama,
|
Flagging down the "Double E" ?
|
Don't the sun look good
|
Going down over the sea ?
|
But don't my gal look fine
|
When she's comin' after me ?
|
|
Well, the wintertime is coming,
|
The windows are filled with frost.
|
I went to tell everybody,
|
But I could not get across.
|
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
|
I don't wanna be your boss.
|
Don't say I never wanted you
|
When your train gets lost.
|
