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
FREE TO BE ME
Every day when I wake It’s just the same
Plot the way that I could make
My escape
From the dark
Fall apart
To a place so far
Where dreams are
Then I see your face
And you show me the way
And the words you say
Set me free
There’s more to believe
And so much more to see
And I am free
Free to be me
So so many many days and ways
That I ought to change
These are the thoughts that drown my brain
And I’m sinking deeper and deeper Into a hole
And I don’t know Where else to go
Then I see your face
And you show me the way
And the words you say
Set me free
There’s more to believe
And so much more to see
And I am free
Free to be me
I had learned to shield my eyes
When I would dread the sunrise
Until you It’s true
Then I see your face
And you show me the way
And the words you say
Set me free
There’s more to believe
And so much more to see
I am free Free to be me
