There's a train leaving here tomorrow. (Leaving here)  And I'll be a free, free man once again. (A free man)    I'm so glad I served my time, I'm gonna meet the girl that I left behind.  And when I see her, I'm gonna give her all the love I've got.  Ooo, when I see her, I'm gonna give her, little girl, all the love I've got.    There were times, there were times when each day seems like a year.  But the sweet things she said in her letters, made the times disappear, oh yeah.  She said, No one's arms will I let hold me 'cause in your arms is where I want   to be.    So when I see her, I'm gonna give her, little girl, all the love I've got.  Ooo, when I see her... (I'm gonna give her all) all the love I've got.    Ooo, baby, baby, baby, I miss you so. Ugh!  Hmmm (Aw)    Countless nights I stared out my window at the moonlight, yes I did now.  Thinking about the way I used to hold her tight, oh yeah.  I must've been out of my mind to do the wrong I did and leave her behind.    So when I see her, I'm gonna give her all the love I've got.  Woo, when I see her, I'm gonna give her, little girl, all the love I've got.  Believe me when I tell ya  When I see her, I'm gonna give her all the love I've got.
