Twelve more miles to Tucumcari I've
been hurrying there To the gal I'm gonna marry With the yellowest
hair
{Left right march along I've just gotta get home} (just gotta
get home) Ten more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more
roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Eight more miles
to Tucumcari It's the fourth of July Been three years in January Since
I kissed her goodbye
{Left right march along I've just gotta get home}
(just gotta get home) Six more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more
roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Four more miles to
Tucumcari Not much further to go Got no time to waste or tarry She'll
be waitin' I know
{Left right march along I've just gotta get home}
(just gotta get home) Two more miles to Tucumcari Then I'll never more
roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)
Here I am in
Tucumcari Found my yellow-haired gal Just in time to see her
marry With my very best pal
{Left right march along Guess I better
be gone} (I better be gone) A thousand miles from Tucumcari I'll be
rambling on (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I'll be rambling on)
A hundred
miles from Tucumcari Down in Santa Fe Fell in love with a girl named
Mary Gee I'm happy today
{No more marching now Found my honeycomb}
(found my honeycomb) I've forgotten Tucumcari No more reason to
roam (Tucumcari, Tucumcari) I've forgotten Tucumcari No more reason to
roooaaaammmmm
