Lyrics:
Now now now now
I found it
In the cupboard under the stairs
Sun beams tracked along the night-mail train
Piercing past that Sunday morning rain
I said
There is a train at Version City
Waiting for the rhythm mail
If you can jump then jump right now
She can pull you through to better days
Is
the reasoning
Now imprisoned
With the vision
Lick the envelope and mail poor decisions
Hear the train sound
Pick up more ground
What's the meaning? There's
The ship didn't say, which way to sail, and the stamp never sent what went in the mail.
The train never said, "Hey y'all, let's jump the rail!",
Dive
Row
Ski
Skate
Surf
Hike
Camp
Fish
Hunt
Shop
Bargain
Save
Spend
Borrow
Lend
Pack
Unpack
Mail
Deliver
Plan
Organize
Prepare
the train blow
Write me a letter send it by mail
Send it in care of the Birmingham jail
(Write me a letter containing three lines)
Answer my question will
on by me, give my heart ease
Write me a letter, send it by mail
Send it in care of the Birmingham jail
The Birmingham jail, love, the Birmingham jail
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
my train
Baby came in April while I was in Chicago in the pouring rain
Black car and rusty tanker three boxcars and an empty sack of mail
And though
You're the girl I long to marry
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Gonna lay around the shack
'Til the mail train
through ya
Just to let you know what your hoe will do to ya
[Chorus]
You better watch your bitch like you watch your mail
If you ain't train that
Like water: a lot of people go to people
My neighbor rises with the sun
To go and tend to those in pain
Others operate the trains
Cook food, deliver
sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulled out at Kankakee
And rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
Like a young cold the country
Was now growing fast
Passenger trains in the east were traveling
A hundred miles an hour
People in the country could
sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out at Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that have no
sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out at Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that have no
catchin' colds and missin' trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing,
I've had measles and the mumps
And every time I play my ace
My
catchin' colds and missin' trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing,
I've had measles and the mumps
And every time I play my ace
My
catchin' colds and missin' trains,
Ev'rything happens to me.
I never miss a thing
I've had measles and the mumps.
And ev'ry time I play my ace
My
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
Toot, toot, Tootsie, good-bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
The choo choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes
And now the sun has broken through, it looks like it will stay
Just can't have you comin' home on such a rainy day
The train is leaving
And now the sun has broken through, it looks like it will stay
Just can't have you comin' home on such a rainy day
The train is leaving
