Well, i ride on a mailtrain, baby
Can't buy a thrill
Well, i've been up all night
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
Going down over the sea ?
But don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me ?

Well, the 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 wanted you
When your train gets lost
