Baby's back, dressed in black Silver buttons all down her back Crying like the wild goose cries With a far away look in her eye But I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind Go down to the railroad sign See the trains go rolling by Leather all around her back And it seems so matter of fact But I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind For after all is said and done And nothing is ever won After everything that we tried Yet you still had to hide Yet you still had to hide Baby's back, dressed in black Going back down and bound to cry Crying like the wild goose cries With a far away look in her eye But I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind For after all is said and done And nothing is ever won After everything that we tried Knowing that you could never lie Knowing that you could never lie Go down to the railroad sign See the people go walking by Leather all around her back This love seems so matter of fact But I wouldn't mind, I just wouldn't mind If after all was said and done Nothing was ever, ever won After everything that we tried Yet you still had to hide Yet you still had to hide
