"I Pray I'll Be Seeing You Soon" lyrics

I am taking a train to Virginia
I am drinking and passing the time
Outside my window there's fields colored emerald
Above me there's hazy grey sky

Six feet of red clay above me
Is all that could keep me from you
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon

And all at once it started raining
I looked up and cursed at the sky
But the sky she don't care much for curses
And I feel like I've lost my damn mind

Six feet of red clay above me
Is all that could keep me from you
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon

Won't you lay down beside me a while
Come lay down beside me and rest
My body is hurtin' from a long day of workin'
And you are the thing I love best

Six feet of red clay above me
Is all that could keep me from you
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon
You're in my dreams until you're in my arms
I pray I'll be seeing you soon
