I had to bring that old grey mare of mine to town I got us on the Emerald Flyer, westward bound To drive you would have been too far But the steam engine had a boxcar And Sam the engine driver put us underway I noticed you'ld been walkin' sorely and a little lame Doc Jensen says you'll never be quite the same But the old Doc treated you good And now he's fixed you like I said he would Two days rest and you're all set to go My lady's waitin' for the train It's gonna take her home again My lady's waitin' at the station for the afternoon train Bridge: And even when the cold wind blows Fown the line she knows That in a little while you'll be feelin' as good as new; Underneath a silvery moon You'll be grazin' soon Nobody ever owned a mare as fine as you I know that you enjoy roaming underneath the summer sun Your saddle's put away now that working days are done Free to roam across the plains There'll be a shelter here when it rains I'll brush that coat of yours until it shines The whistle of the 909's blowin' through the hills Moving closer through the fields and past the mills Soon I'll lead her up the ramp If she's impatient, she might stamp But it won't be long until that homestead comes in view My lady's waitin' for the train It's gonna take her home again My lady's waitin' at the station for the afternoon train My lady's waitin' at the station for the afternoon train My lady's waitin' at the station for the afternoon train
