| I met a person recently on a train, it was going south
|
| I very shyly tried to speak to her but the words, they stuck in my mouth
|
| Come here, she said to me, in a voice I could hardly see
|
| Pray, tell me what is it with you? |
| Why are you looking there at me?
|
| I spoke to her without thinking, I said, I love you, I do believe!
|
| She slapped my face with both her hands and asked me if I would leave
|
| I screamed, Oh no, I didn’t mean that, but then again, yes, I think I did!
|
| She said, Ok, Tom, come over here, and she opened up the lid
|
| Of the suitcase that she was carrying underneath her arm
|
| From which she took two little bottles, I knew I’d come to harm
|
| She made me drink the liquid and my head began to reel
|
| I soon found myself upon the floor, I could not see or could not feel
|
| When I came to, the train I was in, it had made its final stop
|
| And as I opened up my eyes, there before me was a cop
|
| He said that I was drunk and without money, pride and ticket too
|
| Then they ran me down the County Jail, oh, what else could they do?
|
| I tried to explain about the lady who was with me on the train
|
| But they all stood round and looked at me like I was insane
|
| I begged for mercy and forgiveness and for a cigarette too
|
| But they gave me six months hard labour, oh, what else could they do?
|
| While in jail, I met an old cowboy, who said he liked me fine
|
| He made me steal a horse for him and I got extra time
|
| Well, the moral of this story, I expect you all can see
|
| If you must fall in love, then take your time, don’t do it
|
| If you must fall in love, then take your time, don’t do it
|
| If you must fall in love, then take your time, don’t do it
|
| Too easily |
