Nobody says the things he says Nobody moves like he moves Nobody makes me feel this way I’m gonna marry that boy oh lord i’m gonna marry that boy Oh my mother said to me Girl you better watch yourself Cuz a railroad man is an absent man But i’m gonna marry that boy oh lord i’m gonna marry that boy We’ll live in a little house North of duluth Where my grandmother lived in her youth And when he comes homes at night He’ll call to me “my sweet darling girl, come lay with me” And oh mother nothing compares Nothing even comes close To the way he comes up under me I’m gonna marry that boy oh lord i’m gonna marry that boy Marry him in his easter clothes Marry me in white Beneath a canopy of unearthly light And all our friends and family Will all come to say “god bless this union, god bless this day.” Soon all his burdens will be mine Soon this love will set us free All my hope lies with him now I’m gonna marry that boy oh lord i’m gonna marry that boy
