Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill
|
Well, I've been up all night, baby, 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 goin' down over the sea?
|
Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me?
|
|
Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
|
I want 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 warned you when your train gets lost
|
