Sunny Land, Sunny Land

That runs on the Frisco Line

Sunny Land, Sunny Land

That runs on the Frisco Line

Have came through here

Stole that girl of mine



Ev'rytime I look at her picture

Hanging up in a frame

Ev'rytime I look at her picture

Hanging up in a frame

It makes me think about

That lowdown dirty Sunny Land train



So now I'll send her

A long distant telegram

So now I'll send her

A long distant telegram

A woman don't know how to treat a good man

When he have ways just like a lamb



Evrytime I hear how

That lonesome Sunny Land, blow

Evrytime I hear how

That lonesome Sunny Land, blow

It makes me have a feeling

That I have never had befo'



I'm going to the station

Catch the fastest train I see

I'm going to the station

Catch the fastest train I see

And that's the train, baby

That's going to carry me.
