PULLMAN CAR.
Words by Alfred Hudson; music by Charles J. Miers.
Philadelphia: Lee & Walker, ©1871.

1. Pray give me your attention.
Some facts to you I'll mention
About a dear, bewitching girl I met the other day.
'Twas in the hours of leisure,
While traveling just for pleasure,
She came walking through a Pullman car and looked so sweet and gay.

CHORUS: Riding in a Pullman car,
Whilst riding in a Pullman car,
A girl she passed me by,
And winked at me so sly,
Whilst riding in a Pullman car.
Whilst riding in a Pullman car,
Whilst riding in a Pullman car,
A girl she passed me by,
And winked at me so sly,
Riding in a Pullman car.

2. As I alone was sitting,
She through the car came flitting,
I watched her with enraptured gaze as she was tripping by;
My heart was gone completely.
Her eyes they beamed so sweetly.
I smiled at her, she smiled at me, and then she winked her eye.

3. At last we reached the station
Which was our destination.
I lost sight of that pretty girl who stole my heart away;
But soon I mean to find her,
And then I will remind her
About that small flirtation we had the other day.
