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.
