Duluth
from Birds Flying Away
Nobody says the things he says
Nobody moves like he moves
Nobody makes me feel this way
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
Oh my mother said to me
Girl you better watch yourself
'Cause a railroad man is an absent man
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
We'll live in a little town north of Duluth
Where my grandmother lived in her youth
When he comes home 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 going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
Marry him in his Easter clothes, marry me in white
Beneath the canopy of unearthly light
And our friends and family will all come to say
God bless this union, God bless this day
Soon his burdens will be mine
Soon this love will set us free
All my hope lies with him now
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
I'm going to marry that boy, oh lord
I'm going to marry that boy
