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
