Well, I drive a mailtrain, mama,
Can't buy a thrill
Well, I've been up all night, mama,
Leanin' on the window sill
If I die on top of the hill
And if I don't make it, you know my ba by will
Don't the moon look good,
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?
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, don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Well, I drive a mailtrain, mama,
Can't buy a thrill
Well, I've been up all night, mama,
Leanin' on the window sill
If I die on top of the hill
And if I don't make it, you know my ba by will
Don't the moon look good,
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?
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, don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
