On Davidson 02:08
Sidewalks cracked in 1923 Houses are blue, brick, tan or green A church, built of logs by a stream Evergreens verdant Your mind's permanently On Davidson Second floor in attic #2 A hundred years of things to do A train; some mousetraps never sprung Boxes of blue wax Songs no longer sung On Davidson Please tell me all of your friends are well On Melby Will Washington take you to Anderson's Hill, Still? Wax paper please, bottom left kitchen drawer Shine the slide faster than before Tonight, down the hall and up the stairs Push button switches Answer all wishes and prayers On Davidson

Hear the beating Mississippi paddleboat, churning home See the people waving flags and handkerchiefs, people we love Hear the hooter, tootin' to the summer sky, just for fun See my boy go rushing to the landing side, he is the one.... And I’ve been waiting for, a long long time And he’s been waiting for, for he is mine Na na na na na na..... Hear the beating Mississippi paddleboat, churning home See the people waving flags and handkerchiefs, people we love See my baby running down the road to me, calls my name Hear him say, haven’t got too long to stay, who do I pay? Now I’ve been waiting here, a long long time And yes you’ve waited here, for you are mine Na na na na na na..... I had been hoping that you would stay, but from your words I see You are all ready to go away, leaving me....

On the Milwaukee Road Conductor calls all aboard It gets me- home in a day Down at the station, when the train pulls in They'll let down the steps and I'll see you again Step off the platform, to be welcomed aboard Down the aisle to a compartment that we could afford (Chorus) Train's pulling out now and I'm traveling away Coming back to see you and your good old days Run to the dome car, see the countryside Down along Lake Pepin where the river gets wide Kind hippies offering me all kinds of things But Santa's got candy, he gets on at Red Wing On the Milwaukee Road Conductor calls all aboard It gets me- there overnight, alright Old folks will be there waiting, when I arrive Take me back up through the hills and we'll be there by 5:00 After dinner everyone will open their gifts But just to see their faces is all I could wish And when from my bed I see warm lamplight glow I'll always remember, this much I know....

Bring the old cooler down Pass the cold drinks around Gonna have a lot of fun Heaven in a hot dog bun, dum-didi-dum Red Dot Potato Chips Taste good on my lips Fresca up my nose Wet sand 'twixt my toes Mississippi flows.... Picnic at Prairie Du Chien See the riverboat The Delta Queen Passing by Hear the paddlewheel beatin' time To a song about a summer dream On my mind Went to the museum Ladies you could see through 'em Then to the Villa Louis Something 'bout a mystery Said my mum, dum-didi-dum Picnic at Prairie Du Chien Cross the river I can see the trains Passing by Hear the engine coming from the north As it's hummin' down to Davenport Whistle cries 'Tis a day that dreams are made of A memory to never fade away

How many months since the Watkins Man last came through our town? Things just ain't what they used to be, he's stopped coming 'round Unguents, ointments, creams and salves, things all folks should have Time for new boys shampoo, a brush for dear old dad No need walking, his green Falcon takes him door to door Puts no blame on wretched Avon, he's not keeping score How many days since Fred the Milkman came through the kitchen door? Things just ain't what they used to be, now we buy milk at the store Truck bright yellow, funny fellow, suit so white it gleamed From the dairy he would carry, sweet and sour cream Chocolate please.... Cottage Cheese.... An orange drink called "Beep!" Empty bottle, musn't dawdle - he's a friend to keep But the world is changing fast Where will they disappear? I wonder if they're coming back Has time run out I fear? How many months since the Watkins Man last came through our town? So many days since Fred the Milkman stopped by on his round....
