patti page - mama from the train lyrics

(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
