Vee got her city boy back
Hound him out on the airwife track
There's no telling what a kid'll do
When you try to reign them in
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it to the girls back home
Took a shine but couldn't leave
With a head full of whining lines,
he found himself staggering
He tried to make it out to sea,
but the tide kept pulling in
So go tell it on the mountain turn,
go tell it to the girls back home
They took a shine but they couldn't leave
Is it morning? Is it time to go?
I got money for the train
And the rain just turned to snow
Is it morning? Is it time to go?
I've got money for the train
Sweet Pea got her city boy back
She found him out on the Elwhaite track
No tellin' what a kid'll do
When you try to rein him in
Someone said it's a pitiful crime
Someone said it's a crying shame
Sweet feet took the city boy's hand
and watched him fade away
Is it morning? Is it time to go?
I've got money for the train
The rain just turned to snow
Is it morning? Is it time to go home?
I've got money for the train
It's a little late, still here I'm still
It's a little late, but I'm still here
