Mason Jennings - Duluth lyrics

Nobody says the things he says,

nobody moves like he moves

Nobody makes me feel this way

I'm going to marry that boy, oh Lord

I'm going to marry that boy

Oh, my mother said to me,

"Girl, you better watch yourself

'cause a railroad man is an absent man."

I'm going to marry that boy, oh Lord

I'm going to marry that boy

We'll live in a little town north of Duluth

where my grandmother lived in her youth

When he comes home at night, he'll call to me,

"My sweet darlin' girl, come lay with me."

And oh, mother nothing compares,

nothing even comes close,

to the way he comes up under me

I'm going to marry that boy, oh Lord

I'm going to marry that boy

Marry him in his Easter clothes, marry me in white

beneath the canopy of unearthly light

And our friends and family will all come to say,

"God bless this union, God bless this day."

Soon his burdens will be mine

soon this love will set us free

All my hope lies with him now

I'm going to marry that boy, oh Lord

I'm going to marry that boy

I'm going to marry that boy, oh Lord

I'm going to marry that boy
