| Well, I ride on a mail train, baby
|
| Can’t buy a thrill
|
| I’ve been up all night, baby
|
| Leanin' on the window sill
|
| 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' down 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?
|
| 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 warned you
|
| If your train gets lost |
