Intro:
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Chorus 1:
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
Verse 3:
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
Verse 4:
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
Chorus 2:
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
