Lyrics Mason Jennings – Duluth

I’m going to marry that boy
Oh my mother said to me
Girl you better watch yourself
’cause a railroad man is an absent man
I’m going to marry that boy, oh lord
I’m going to marry that boy
We’ll live in a little town
North of duluth
Where my grandmother
Lived in her youth
When he comes home at night
He’ll call to me
My sweet darling girl
Come lay with me
And oh mother nothing compares
Nothing even comes close
To the way he comes up under me
I’m going to marry that boy, oh lord
I’m going to marry that boy
Marry him in his easter clothes
Marry me in white
Beneath a canopy
Of unearthly light
And our friends and family
Will all come to say
God bless this union

God bless this day
Soon his burdens will be mine
Soon this love will set us free
All my hope lies with him now
I’m going to marry that boy, oh lord
I’m going to marry that boy
I’m going to marry that boy, oh lord
I’m going to marry that boy
