Lyrics
At first I did not think it could be you But you're the only one that got off the train So you must be my wife miss annie halsey Yes, I guess I am your husband, hello I'm harry crane
Mail order annie, never mind your crying Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life Mail order annie, can't you see I'm trying To tell you that I'm glad you're here You are the woman who's come to be my wife
You know you're not as pretty as I dreamed you'd be But then I'm not no handsome fancy dan And out here looks are really not important It's what's inside a woman when she's up against the land
Mail order annie, never mind your crying Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life Mail order annie, can't you see I'm trying To tell you that I'm glad you're here You are the woman who's come to be my wife
You know it's not no easy life you're entering The winter wind comes whistling through the cracks there in the sod You know you'll never have too many neighbors There's you girl, and there's me, and there's god
You know I'm just a dirt man from the north dakota plains You're one girl from the city who's been thrown out on her own I'm standing here not sure of what to say to you 'Cepting mail order annie, lets you and me go home
Mail order annie, never mind your crying Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life Mail order annie, can't you see I'm trying To tell you that I'm glad you're here You are the woman who's come to be my wife
