The train from Sligo moves too slow As it brings her from the school below She wants to be here faster than The train from Sligo ever can And wonders where the passing time goes Creeping by her window—my, oh my— It's taking longer than it ever did before.
Eyes wide as silver dollars Can't think why but she's a scholar Hold on—it seems too long To learn what's right from what is wrong Oh, schoolbooks and fancy collars Might not care to be a scholar Hold on—Daddy tells her Learn to sing your song.
The train to Sligo moves too fast When holidays are gone at last And winter nights are long again Please promise me you'll write me then It's two more weeks til I get home I can't help feeling all alone If someone doesn't write me soon I'll simply fade away
Eyes wide as silver dollars Can't think why but she's a scholar Hold on—it seems too long To learn what's right from what is wrong Oh, schoolbooks and fancy collars Might not care to be a scholar Hold on—Daddy tells her Learn to sing your song.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
