Lyrics
I ride on a mail train, baby, can't buy it's rent
I've been up all night, up all night, leaning on your window sill
And 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 shining through the trees?
Hey baby, hey baby
And don't the brakeman look good, baby, baby, baby, baby
When it's flagging down the "Double E"?
And don't the sun look good going down over the sea?
And don't my man look fine when he's coming after me?
Oh baby, come on
The winter time is coming, the windows are filled with frost
Hey, I want to tell everybody, tell everybody, baby
But I could not get across
Hey, hey, hey, listen
I want to be your lover, baby, I don't want to be your boss
Don't say I didn't warn you, baby, when your train gets lost
When your train gets lost
