First, the original lyrics copied from LyricsDownload.com:
MAMA FROM THE TRAIN (A KISS, A KISS)
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 here 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.
[As recorded by Patti Page, 1956.]
