Duluth

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
