Mama from the Train

Lyrics：Irving Gordon Music：Irving Gordon

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss

Wave mama from the train a goodbye

Throw mama from the train a kiss a kiss

And don't cry, my baby, don't cry

How I miss that sweet lady with her old-country touch

Miss her quaint broken English called *Pennsylvania Dutch*

I can still see her there at the station that day

Calling out to her baby as the train pulled away

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss

Dry mama all your tears, won't you try?

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss

And eat mama up all her pie

Can't believe that she's gone now, it's a lonely old town

Yet I know that her heavenly love keeps looking down

'cause whenever I happen to be passing through

I could swear she was there with the warmth I once knew

And I

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss

Wave mama from the train a goodbye

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss

And she throws one back from up high
