Lyrics

Dear Maggie: Rhean Boyer, Mickey Kelley, Michelle Lockey 2012

Dear Maggie I'm leaving, can't find a job
There's work down in Memphis needin' men on the docks
Your father won't hear of me having your hand
He says you're to marry a wealthier man

Four years later fly by when you worked night and day
I Made my fortune, now I'm on my way

Chorus
It's a long slow train back to the mountains of east Tennessee
To that lost ole coal town where dear Maggie waits for me

V
I ask the conductor to bring me a light
I've got this new letter from my future wife
As I read through the pages my heart starts to race
And I begin prayin' that I'm not too late

Chorus
It's a long slow train back to the mountains of east Tennessee
To the lost ole coal town where dear Maggie waits for me

Bridge:
I ran all the way from the station to home
To find my dear Maggie's name written in stone...

It's a long slow train up from the mountains of east Tennessee
To the that bright gold city where dear Maggie waits for me

It's a long slow train up from the mountains of east Tennessee
To that bright gold city where dear Maggie waits for me
