Duluth - Haroula Rose

Nobody says the things he says

Nobody moves like he moves

Nobody makes me feel this way

I’m gonna marry that boy oh lord I’m gonna marry that boy

Oh my mother said to me

Girl you better watch yourself

Cuz a railroad man is an absent man

But I’m gonna marry that boy oh lord I’m gonna marry that boy

We’ll live in a little house

North of Duluth

Where my grandmother lived in her youth

And when he comes homes 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 gonna marry that boy oh lord I’m gonna marry that boy

Marry him in his Easter clothes

Marry me in white

Beneath a canopy of unearthly light

And all our friends and family

Will all come to say «God Bless this union, God Bless this day.»

Soon all his burdens will be mine

Soon this love will set us free

All my hope lies with him now

I’m gonna marry that boy oh lord I’m gonna marry that boy

FREE TO BE ME

Every day when I wake It’s just the same

Plot the way that I could make

My escape

From the dark

Fall apart

To a place so far

Where dreams are

Then I see your face

And you show me the way

And the words you say

Set me free

There’s more to believe

And so much more to see

And I am free

Free to be me

So so many many days and ways

That I ought to change

These are the thoughts that drown my brain

And I’m sinking deeper and deeper Into a hole

And I don’t know Where else to go

Then I see your face

And you show me the way

And the words you say

Set me free

There’s more to believe

And so much more to see

And I am free

Free to be me

I had learned to shield my eyes

When I would dread the sunrise

Until you It’s true

Then I see your face

And you show me the way

And the words you say

Set me free

There’s more to believe

And so much more to see

I am free Free to be me
