At first I did not think it could be you
But you're the only one who got off the train
You must be my wife
Miss Annie Halsey
I must be your husband
Yes I'm Harry Crane
Mail Order Annie
Never mind your cryin'
Your tears are sweet rain
In my empty life
Mail Order Annie
Can't you see I'm tryin'
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
But out here looks are really not important
No no
It's what's inside a woman
When she up against the land
Mail Order Annie
Never mind your cryin'
Your tears are sweet rain
In my empty life
Mail Order Annie
Can't you see I'm tryin'
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 enterin'
The winter wind comes whistlin'
Through the cracks there in the sod
You know you'll never have
Too many neighbors
There's you babe
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
And I'm standin' here not sure of what to say to you
'Ceptin' Mail Order Annie
Let's you and me go home
Mail Order Annnie
Never mind your cryin'
Your tears are sweet rain
In my empty life
Mail Order Annie
Can't you see I'm tryin'
To tell you that I'm glad you're here
You are the woman
Who's come to be my wife
