I tried a mailtrain, mama, cant buy a thrill
Ive been up all night, mama, leanin on the window sill
If I die on top of the hill
If I dont make it, know my baby will
Dont the moon look good, mama, shinin through the trees?
Dont the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the Double E?
Dont the sun look good fine setting down over the sea?
Dont my gal look fine when shes running after me?
Wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody, but I could not get across
I wanna be your lover, baby, I dont wanna be your boss
Dont say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Dont say I never warned you when your train gets lost
