Well, I ride on a mailtrain,

Can't buy me no thrill.

       C                    G F G F
Leanin' on the window sill.
      G
Well, if I die
   C          D
On top of the hill

You know my baby will.

Shinin' through the trees?

         C                   G F G F
Flagging down the "Double E"?

Don't the sun look good

Goin' down over the sea?

Now the wintertime is coming,

The windows are filled with frost.

I tried to tell everybody,

But I could not get across.

Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,

I don't wanna be your boss.

When your train gets lost.
