Easy times come hard for me and oh my darling
Time again to dream that you are coming home
Happy times I've had with you and you know my darling
Will there ever be a time when I'm not alone?

I thought you'd like to know the willow's turning green
I was down by the railroad tracks today
The winter seems so long and you are going
Been that way as long as I can remember

Easy times come hard for me and oh my darling
Time again to dream that you are coming home
Happy times I've had with you and you know my darling
Will there ever be a time when I'm not alone?

Tell me how you spend your time, here there's nothing much to do
And the nights they seem to last forever
But the river's bright with summer, oh the trains are going somewhere
But they won't be stopping here to bring you home

Easy times come hard for me and oh my darling
Time again to dream that you are coming home
Happy times I've had with you and you know my darling
Will there ever be a time when I'm not alone?
And I know there's nowhere that you can go
